well there are some MINOR flaws (few bubbles on the door panel) but hey generally it's nice I guess.

it feels like vinyl/plastic/glossy (it's vinyl afterall) and I don't wanna get electricuted with friction or get burned on hot days with real metal

but it looks like metal.

I don't plan on selling the GS

but if something happens and I HAVE to sell, I can always take the vinyl out. (MAIN reason why I didn't go the easy way and paint them)

Great job Globe! I've been following this (in your album) for awhile, so I know you are glad to have it completed! Feels good to do it yourself doesn't it?

It looks real nice----gives the interior a clean and classy look. I wish I had a darker color interior, I would do the same!

haha thanks guys.

I wouldn't say that i'm 100% satisfied with my work, but I'm definitely over 90% happy about it. As for doing this for others, I don't think my work is professional enough to be marketed. However if there are people asking how to do this, I WILL post DIY instructions to share with everyone. I ain't selfish

take everything apart.

EVERYTHING.

You'll see that the vent leaf, the cover, and everything else are pretty much separate. But be careful when you are around those vent directional leaves. I snapped my driver side ones
