Actually, I forgot congratulating you and went back looking for your job on the vinyl and closed the tab and cursed myself and typing this here

Update on door sills if anyone will be interested.
It is on double sided tape , but the side skirt has to holes for that sill , and once you remove the sill , tge holes become visible. So its a NO go.
Will keep it as it is.

Well this afternoon, I installed a Carbon Fiber Start/Stop button!
(sorry for all the mess, and crappy lighting--I did this in a hurry while I was packing)

Removed:




Installed:



Also installed the silver trim for rear air vents--I think the finished product looks very classy.

Thank you very much!!!
Good luck with finding Porcelain on a wrecked car. It was Special Order leather & my car is one the handful of E-classes with that color leather, so chances are very slim.
