Played around a little this week with vinyl overlays. The process as most of you know is 100% reversible. I did a few pcs in a gloss white which was way to bright. The matte white is much more subdued. The car is white BTW.
I know its not for everyone but hey it not everyone's car either.
Looks like the OEM white trim which works well. [thumb] Very nice.
I personally had a bit of an issue with the finish on my SE's trim being damaged when removing vinyl, but I was taking it off for paint anyway so it was moot. That factory silver was pulled off in one spot by the vinyl.
We just bought a yard of vinyl film and went to town. For anyone doing this, the AC Control Panel is a PITA to wrap. Hair dryer is a must to get it pulled nice and tight.
Looks good! I have some matte orange vinyl laying around that I'm going to do the same thing with (will match my wheels). Just need to find time and energy to do it.

OK guys quick update. After being in the heat today some of the film on the ac control panel has peeled up. SO what I suggest is if you do this when you wrap your panels glue this edges on the back side to avoid this. I will be unwrapping mine on saturday and rewrapping them. Not a huge deal but sucks that I have to spend 2 more hours doing this all over.
I'll be doing mine in matte black to match the rest of the interior.
A lot of the interior vinyl wrapping really depends on the quality of vinyl you use and properly cleaning the surface.
