it isn't vinyl, it's painted. You would just have to tape off the area and paint it black.

LOL! we don't need another fun incident to take up the boards for a month. well.. actually it would be fun. But i'm sure he was thinking of the vinyl used for decals and not the vinyl used as a leather substitute.

Oops, i made a little typo. I meant a "fur incident" but it was also fun. lol.

I would imagine that you can have a one-piece vinyl decal cut to fit in there if you want to try it out but aren't totally sure you want it to be permanent. If installed correctly, it should look fine. If you decide to do it, there are plenty of small businesses that produce vinyl signs and decals. Just take a look in your yellow pages.
