Pretty much all the non 3M Vinyl's on eBay are the same.

Go with some 3M DINOC tho. Much better quality

I agree, 3M DINOC is some really good quality compared to the others out on the market. You get what you pay for. Purchase some 3M and compare, you won't be disappointed.

Yep I wrapped my roof and interior w 3m. Don't buy that cheap stuff. My friend did and not only was it harder to apply but it didn't stick well and it faded.

Is it possible to wrap the tan parts of the door? I'm trying to make my interior all black and CF.

vinyl will only stick to smooth hard surfaces. If you want to do your entire door panel you will need to find someone to reupholster it.
