I guess everything turned out pretty good. Altho there are some crease marks, but I can live with it, plus it is not nocticable until you go right up to it.

To everyone who wants to do vinyl...
Make sure to use 2mil vinyl(they call it high performance)..
I've used 2.7mil which is little thicker...
What my boss told is that(who has long experience with vinyl) use 2.0mil cause it'll be better to be used on very curvy surface...and it has better adhesive... and it'll stretch better..
Mine kind of slightly peeling off on some edges where is has bery big folds and stuff....

vinyl: you can "undo" and everything will be back to stock without any damage :)
Paint: Very hard to make everything back to stock if you don't like it.

BUT
vinyl: can have crease marks, not as shiny and paint feeling, is a giant sticker, colors are harder to match
Paint: permanent, no crease marks, looks like stock exterior, colors match....
