any tips on rapping vinyl for your interior??

Go to your local upholstery shop. If you want it off the net, be careful and get what you want. One place that I know sells vinyl and many other install accessories is select products. 3 way will be expensive, but you can do pretty much anything you want!!

98 akkord, I've got an extra set of door panels if you are interested in buying them to play with, so that you can keep your factory ones!!

Naah i got sum 96 prelude door panelz from my old H22 i totald so i got sumthin 2 practice on, but i've also had sum experience wrapping vinyl on fiberglass enclosurez b4, n it came out damn decent but that i actually heated it with a heat gun and streched it and pushed on the curvz while it cooled off so the shape stayed, but thats just one of the wayz 2 do big curvz but lil curvz, u need strechable vinyl cuz therez only soo much u can strech even by heating, or after that, it ripz. But will find a solution for this soon.

any1 got any tips or diy on how to remove old vinyl and rap new vinyl on your doors instead of using the dye??

I didnt remove the original fabric because i wanted some kind of cushion under the new vinyl. I sized and cut the vinyl and sprayed contact glue on both the fabric and the back of the vinyl. when the glue was tacky i placed vinyl over fabric and spread it out(when pressing down on vinyl use your palm and not you fingers cause you dont want any dents or finger prints!LOL). with a tucking tool i had from my last job i tucked the vinyl in and with a smaill siccisor(pls excuse grammer) cut the reminder material as close as possible and tuck the remaining vinyl in the that was it.

I've only done small parts in vinyl with no research and found that most stuff you buy at like a fabric store will only want to stretch one way. Take that into account. Second, leaving it out in the sun makes it easier to deal with.

i didnt have to really stretch the vinyl at all for the panels but a little for the armrest

you are doing the right thing by taking your time with it. just try a flat and a gloss because you may not like that glossy look every where cause i know i didnt! dont forget to clear coat it also!
