Default shops that do vinyl wrapping?

I was wondering if anyone knew any shops that do that down here? I've seen pictures with cars that have their exterior vinyl wrapped, and I figured that the same could be done to the interior of the car. The reason I ask is because my dash is extremely scratched up. And instead of going through the trouble of taking my dash out and respraying, I was wondering if I could just take it to a shop and have parts of it vinyl'ed. If you have any references, let me know! Thanks!

Here's a picture of a car thats vinyl wrapped matte black if your curious.

So that whole car is vinyl wrapped? Seems like a good way for a cheap paint job then when you're tired of it just have to peel it off and bam back to stock color. Not sure if any one down here does this though. You might try calling some of the banner shops down here. I know I've seen Aloha signs and graphics putting big logos on some of those work trucks the kind they use for deliveries.

The vinyl I used was automotive grade, It can be washed the same as a regular car would. And its thiner than a sheet of paper, so when applyed, you can't even feel the paint ends, and the vinyl begins (Great, but a ***** to take off).....Everyone thought it was painted, and my STi paint is Black with gold flake, and the vinyl is gunmetal with silver flake...It was a fun week

It all depends, ProDigital Hawaii was one of my sponcers for HIN, so my cost was crazy cheap. The cost is based on cost of materials, difficulty of the design, and whether or not if your doing the install yourself, or you want them to instill it for ya....IMO, I would pay to have them do it.
