Because I ran out of vinyl. The cheapest I could find for that specific kind which was the only company that made a color close to the orange I needed was $48 yd. If I was working I could've ordered more but with limited funds it's a different story. I also hadnt really planned to wrap that part. I got my shiftknob from that site too.

Brian..... yes it's the nostril mod and the lights are orange. 1FASTBIRD Rob already said where he got that **** at....same place I did 
. Thanks for the compliments on the interior. I really dont know if anyone could pay me enough to do those panels because they were a PITA! Putting them back together was another feat!

I'm not sure if I should keep the door handles in black or do those in the aluminum. I thought if I did them in the brushed aluminum it'd be too busy looking. I had them in carbon fiber following Ed's directions but I didnt like how it looked. That was a pain to do btw since it's a curved surface I had to do one small section at a time then the airbrush broke.
I like what you've done and I was debating on making a suggestion however after seeing that you were on the fence about the door handles with the above quote, I would say do the door handles silver (to match the GTO shifter) and the switch panels black (which is what I did).
The curved door handles bounce light and show nice depth within shadows. I was very reluctant when I did mine, however they actually look the best and although some of the silver I did in the car is going, they're gonna stay!
Here's a quick pic I had. I can resize and upload something closer If it would help. I also did the defroster rings and the seat belt guides to help balance things out.

How did u reattach your door inserts? I took the door panels off my bird and noticed the the inesersts are held in by like 100 little pins the are all melted down to hole it together. The only thing I could think to do would be to cut the ends flush with the insert and the run little sheet metal screws into the plastic somehow or find some kind of little clip that would grab what's left of the pins.

Thanks for the compliments . The bird is lit up with super bright LEDs.
rbaski it's actually a reddish orange ...not red. It's Ulraleather and a color called Grenandine. It's an almost exact match to the other orange pieces which match the orange in the flame job.
