Hi spediegunz!

Sorry about not replying your PM, I was at work this whole week (24/7).
I watched the video and I like the matte DI-NOC better as well, and agree that your sample of that light coloured brushed aluminium doesn't look the best possible. The vinyl that I used was Foliatec, but I'm not sure if you can get it from the US. Here's their website: Foliatec Brushed Aluminium Vinyl

I'll check out their site and sure I will send some closeup pics too.
I agree the vinyl looks very real. Every single person in my car has thought my trims are real aluminium.

ps. I may have few little pieces left. I can send some to you if you wish.

edit: Couple of closeups.



Ah! I can see a flaw in upper corner of the air vent .

Omg I'm truly sold by looking at your up close shots I tried to see if i could process an order from the site and unfortunately they don't deliver to the US. But I absolutely must have this product. I'm going to send you a pm regarding those leftovers because is absolutely love for you to send them for me

Yup I found two pieces and they're both around 10" x 10". I'm sending them to you ASAP .

edit: I found a shop in US that sells Foliatec, but I couldn't find the vinyl on their site. Maybe you could give them a call or email them.
