It has a good texture and is thick, I think it will hold better from scuffs than the factory pieces

be careful with the sticker type vinyl stuff. It can get gooey if it gets hot inside your truck.
I did the Carbon Fiber fabric with spray glue in mine to prevent that.

That looks pretty good. Too bad I had all my interior pieces painted black or I would do this.
