Pretty much every auto parts store has the rolls of carbon fiber sticker and the chrome. I got it at autozone.

Your project looks great! I can't wait to see it finished. Maybe I'll see you around the next time I'm in St. Louis.

I'm not sure if it matters for you now or not, but you can get those V-shaped window felts by the foot from here: http://www.restorationspecialties.com/webcatalog.pdf

That's a beautiful job! looks just as good as a lot of the high dollar stuff. The pvc was a great idea, any panels I've seen done before were with hardboard which doesn't bend like that and plus the shavings just aren't as good at hiding the stripper glitter.

Just an update after 4 years. Doors still look great. Over the last 4 years, the PVC did warp a little leaving about a 1/8" gap from the window in the middle. Everywhere else fits great. A thicker metal edge or a couple extra Christmas tree fasteners in the middle top of the panel would probably take care of that. But love the look, cost, and durability of the PVC.
