ya mostly the car manufacture uses the vinyl.....you can select the shade of the colour and use the dull one as it looks more nice......will be avalible at any car accessory shop...but you will be needing a hot air gun for that......

People, we do not know the taste of this man. He says Grey & vinyl (what most people can afford), is el cheapo, probably gold is 'el Not so cheapo' but expenso for him, let us get 'those' kind of guys into this discussion, ok ??? he is in a totally different class, let us accept that.

P.S. But he still does not have the funds....i do noy understand...could you please clarify ?

If i understand correctly, YOur going to put the suede on the interior of the pillars right?

I think what everyone here is talking about the vinyl on the outside, as seen on the swift.

If i'm assuming wrong please ignore this.
