Thanks for all the comments guys. To answer some of the questions; the trim was done in an outdoor vinyl used for signs I believe and is sold by the yard. Chris ,the tint guy at RXmotors in Tampa has a bunch of it. Its a gloss black which matches our ob paint really well, and was cut to the width of the trim and streched/ pulled around the bends of the trim. I had origionaly bought the Trim Brite Black Out tape b/c it is more of a satin or matte black (as I was planning on a matte black face w/ gloss lip for the wheel, and matte trim and emblems) but neither the matte trim nor wheel face looked right IMO on my OB painted G.
As for the interior, it was done by a local upholsterer here in tampa who I know. He charged around 500 for the headliner w/ sunroof and front and rear pillars in real suede as well as painting the middle pillar and ALL the interior trim black. Also included in the price was painting the dd kit, clock bezel and shift console in gloss black which is still being completed.
Oh, and the visors are not complete either. As DieselX mentioned we couldnt get the mirror assembly out enough either to wrap..as of now its ghetto wraped in the cheaper more pliable (imitation) version of the suede he had over the mirrors.
