OK, had done some changes since last. Doors are now all black with red piping. The CF panels are now hydro dipped in brush aluminum style. Wheel and shift **** follows the black and red theme.
This red stitching is sweet man! Was it hard to do?
Damn Viking, car looks amazing! Great work on the interior! I'll most likely be stealing some of these idea over this coming winter! Keep up the awesome work!!

Thank you!!
Having some plans for this winter; have been occupied with house renovation... (To please da wife)
thanks for all the info viking your car is amazing it inspired me to take on this project myself , here are my results(hopefully it shows) for any one wondering i got the whisper black vinyl from joanns, and used weldwood landau top and trim as the adhesive then, I spray painted the handle and bottom with SEM landau black, im going to attach it all tomorrow with 1" screws with washers in the morning
I am interested in attempting this myself now. I believe I would start with the doors and perhaps do more later if it came out ok.
My question is, if Im working on the doors, finish one the best I can but it turns out poorly, can I take the vinyl/glue off and get the door back to its normal look without permanent damage or cosmetic changes from the glue etc? Can I wash it off?
Just want to make sure I can go back if my craftsmanship falls short of viking and some of you other guys. Thanks.

Depends of what kind of glue you use. That´s why I use 3M fastbond 30. This glue is water based, thin fluid and works very good when you want to wrap stiff plastic panels and it is easy to remove if you want to revert.
If you use spray glue or 3M fastbond 10, these are solvent based and very difficult to remove. But for some applications such shift **** or steering wheel you must use this kind of glue since it is very strong.
I'm looking to do this on an extra set of door to see how well it turns out. I plan on using faux leather of two different types for a contrast with Suede to match my steering wheel and shifter.
Someone needs to make center consoles and doors already done so we can just buy them done..... be plenty of demand since so many doors are cracked.
Wow that dash panel is the nicest I've ever seen on a GM car!
I'm trying to do what Viking has done, and failing. Maybe the 4 way stretch vinyl is the key, I used regular, and the first 2 tries on a door panel did not turn out well. A lot of decisions have to be made, and a lot of chances to screw up.
Thanks to Viking for starting this thread, its a good one!
I ordered me the door armrest covers from RedLinegoods last year. Now i had the time to take my doors apart and covered the armrest in some nice black leather..
