ewll I have experimented on the door panels in my 93 Sedan..I eman it takes some time and patience to do. not to mention the right kind of adheisive to ensure it will hold the vinyl/fabric that you choose.
big thing w/ vinyl is to work from the center outward and work out any bubbles etc w/ like a little roller. also a heat gun comes in handy to help it to stretch the vinyl to sonform, but w/ the heat gun you have to be careful not to heat it up to much.
here is a book you could get as well to help a little w/ info or look it up in a local borders for tips:

Hope this may help and good luck if you venture to DIY..share pics if so...:yes:
