Alright, i did my door handles today, and attempted to do my shifter ****. Probably do the center console later on today. Here's some pics for now.
Backside of the wrap.

Pics of Installed on car:
Front Pass

Front Driver

Rear Pass

Rear Driver

Shifter ****:

Also, it seems that this fabric is actually waterproof:

Even though its waterproof, the fact that it is fabric and not vinyl will make me NOT recommend this for exterior use.

If you would like me to get this done for you, pm me

ok. I finished the center console. It may look good from pics but it took sooooo long. buttons ruining the side of the wraps, button becoming stuck, wrap not lining up with other parts.... etc etc. such a PITA. so worth it when its done though!!

looks SO much better than before.
Total work time is about 6 hours. 1-1.5 hour on 4 door pulls, 4.5 - 6 hours on center console.....

I would guess the thickness is what causing the buttons to stick on the inside of the lips. Can you sand down the material inside the lip were the buttons pop through? You wouldn't be able to see it once put back together.
Just a thought

^ i thought of that, but since i had to use the car shortly after i put it back, i just didnt bother with it. Miraculously though, the buttons are now not stuck anymore 
jwolfpk: yes, 1 yard will definitely be enough.
