there a few types to choose from.....

1. no streach (will not streach when pulled)

2. one way streach (ussualy only lenthwise)

3 six way (all) streach (exactly that).


The last one is the easiest to work with.....it's also the most expensive.

I work within the Vinyl industry. The best vinyl to work with would be a 3M 2mil cast vinyl. It has a lifetime of 8 years directly exposed to the sun and all environmental conditions. So if goes on the interior it could last up to 10-15 years depending if you park your car in the sun often. There is also a cheaper alternative called Avery 2mil. It is just as good as 3m and much cheaper. If interested let me know because I can hook you up good!

I did my skirts in Red to match my car. Looks much better then that cheap black plastic. Now it looks like an SIR, without a $500 paint job.

Well usually there are only two different types of white. A gloss white and a matte white which are universally the same. Although 3M has numerous shades of specialty whites called, Antique white, Eggshell white, and Oyester. All i would need to do is give you samples so that you could compare and make sure it is the same. I am pretty positive it would match.
