Also to stretch the vinyl so you do not get any bubbles or kinks in it warm it up with a heat gun then stretch it over the item. My mom has taught me this, she is great with interiors.
Thanks for the info. I'm working on the trim panel clips. The problem I have is attaching them to the back of my panel and if one breaks off then I will need to replace it with a new one. The plan is to make a hole next to the location and then a slot that it slides over into to hold it in. I'll post pics later.

Nice job on that S-10. That looks sweet. You just gave me a really good idea for mine.
