Bing, Thanks for the additional pics showing different ways to wrap the kicks (Post #15 on this thread).
Actually, I think the suede wrapped kicks (3rd and 4th pics in Post #1) look best. From the driver or passenger viewing angle, suede matches the carpeting (if the colors are nearly the same) and is more esthetically pleasing (at least that is what I see from the pics).
As to the vinyl wraps on the kicks (Post #15), I prefer the plain and smooth vs. the textured. But, I suspect the textured vinyl does a better job hiding scrapes when shoes hit these surfaces.
So… my vote is the suede. Although, I’m not sure how the suede would hold up in Frostbite Falls where there is tons of salt dropped on the roadways that finds its way into a car’s interior and onto susceptible surfaces.

acutally, the rason those two vinyls were used was both to match the rest of hte install
the CF vinlyed (not textured, just patterns acutally any imperfection would stnad out MORE cuase its shinier
) kicks, the trunk:
and theone with the black vinly's trunk:
i still prefer the black suede as well for the daily driver, beucase its less obvious and more durable...even though suede is a MUCH tougher material to wrap curves in than vinyl lol, each time i about to tear the material apart wrapping the kicks, and one time my slipped when i was pulling hard and punched myself in the face lol

Bing, great job. I love seeing your work. You are one of the few installers in the world who take great pride in his work.

^^ And not to mention scraped knuckles and abraded fingertips. Ouch!!
The confined space of a car’s interior (along with installing sophisticated equipment that just barely fits) and the proprietary panel-attachment-configuration (unique to different cars) makes the job only more difficult. CES installers must certainly envy the easier installation that home-theater installers enjoy.
Notice that on a couple of other current threads here right now, owners/self-installers attempt to do installations with minimal disassembly. Of course that is foolish and happens because they are unsure about removing panels and other pieces. A successful and sophisticated installation requires disassembly, re-assembly, and a good understanding of the car‘s electronics. I guess if you are not capable of doing this (and that applies to many of us), you need a pro. That doesn’t mean an amateur shouldn’t attempt an installation, but doing this requires a great deal of research.
