    Hey folks,

    Just did my armrests in vinyl again, after the first set let go, because the glue I used isn't compatible with vinyl.

    Turns out, the new glue I bought, is most likely gonna let go to... as I used 3M 77, and apparently should have used 90??

    Anyhow, my main issue, is I'm trying to figure out what to do with the door handles. I've tried using Carbon Fibre wrap, which eventually wrinkled up in the heat. I've tried plastidip with clear coat, which stayed sticky... and won't dry!!! And tried using the same vinyl as the armrests, but have a nasty seem on the inside, which I don't like.

    My question, has anyone done anything to cover the original handle?? I hate how it looks all yellow and dirty, compared to the rest of the panel......
