Yeah, so this weekend I played w/ vinyl for the first time on my car...sorry about the craptastic crackberry shots.
Vinyl black to cover the annoying silver strip on the rear tailgate:
Vinyl black overlays for the interior A/C knobs:

Looks good to me.
I have two 6' x 3' sheets of flat black vinyl to play with. I am going to do my roof.

Yeah, I was thinking of doing my silver roof rails, too. Not sure about the durability, though. Especially if I end up using my crossbars to carry something.

Not much. I picked them up from Blue Batmobile who is a vendor over at IWSTI. I think I payed $20-$30 shipped for them.
Also, SUBTLE makes them, too =>
A/C OVERLAY LINKY
I would have gone w/ the SUBTLE ones but he didn't make them when I bought them.

Only thing is the '04 overlays don't look that great IMHO and getting the JDM version is way too expensive. I still need to hit my console w/ the black plati-dip spray.
