looks killer! I used vinyl on my door handles too so I wouldnt have to pull them off and wrap them... I would suggest taking a heat gun or a blow dryer and using it on the round corners (ie shift console area, air vents) it will melt it smooth right on there! works like a charm too!
i just stretched and tugged the hell out of it to form the corners
the bend inwards near the steering wheel was kille

I like that. Can't tell the color very well in the pics though. Does the vinyl have texture to it or is that a metallic finish?
dark charcoal metallic

Look really nice actually. What made you decide to do this? Didn't like the wood look, wanted a more sporty look, or maybe just a change, something to do?
Well done!
