Default Vinyl on the Kick Pannels?

So I'm taking my door panels into a little shop who said they would reupholster them for $50 a panel (gotta love South Tucson). I'm going to have them done in red to match my seats, but what should I do to the kick panel carpet (I have an LT1)?

I've seen other people used color carpet, but I've never been too fond of that idea. How do you think the vinyl would hold up down there?

I may have misunderstood you, what do you mean by kick panel? you talking about the lower part of the door panel?
