Scratched black door vinyls? (b-pillar)

Does anyone else have problems with their black door vinyls on the b-pillars getting scratched over the most minor things? I had a scratch on my drivers side, and I tryed rubbing it out with my finger in my shirt......only to create more scratches. I know its a really minor thing, but I might just go about ordering a new one to replace it. Anyone else have the same issue?

Anyone?

Im pretty sure if you peel it off its painted the same color as your car underneath.Some guys have been taking it off and leavingg it like that.

I prefer the black vinyl myself !

Yeah, its white underneath, but I too prefer the black vinyl. Im just super ****, so I wanna replace the one thats got a few scratches. Im taking a loan out through my company to get new tires, a front end alignment/camber correction, and to get a door ding removed, so I figure I might as well take care of this too while i'm at it.

Nah, that'd be alot more expensive than buying a replacement vinyl im sure.

Plus im selling the car in spring, but for now im trying to get it back to 100%, and every little detail counts.

Eh, but even then I like the vinyl b/c its kind of a matte black and I think it looks good as is. Wouldn't want it any glossier.
