Vinyl update complete, 2008 XLV
Well, my vinyl was pretty tired and was held together with tons of tear aid and vinyl tape.
Here was my old color scheme:

I did the disassembly of the vinyl pieces. and brought them to the upholstery guy.

And about 5 or 6 weeks later I was able to pick them up. (it took 3 weeks just to get the special ordered vinyl).

In hindsight, it would have been better to have just brought the boat to the shop and let them do everything. I ended up having to bring back the boat and have them re-stretch all the front seatback pieces.
I went with the following:
- Silver Carbon Fiber vinyl base color
- Medium textured gray border color
- Blue carbon fiber vinyl accent color
- Black carbon fiber vinyl accent color
- Blue Carbon fiber vinyl piping
- blue thread for stitching
I also told the shop that it was cool to be generous with the darker accent colors. They took me at my word and did the rear sun deck with a TON of the darker colors. If I don't like it, I'll have him swap out some of the black for more silver down the road.
