I want to cover my glove-box with black vinyl rather than the ugly cloth, but i can only find it in strips. Anyone know where i can get some vinyl that could cover this and the door panels? :)

You think it will have a sticky surface on the back so i don't have to go all ghetto with double sided tape?

I suggest Johann's Fabric or the Rag Shop. These are nation wide companies, and usually have a few different kinds of vinyl in stock and a decent collection of colors. Last time I checked the range of prices are about $5-12 a yard 36" in length and I think 36" in width. So this is a pretty cheap customizaion of interior. I would recommend totally taking apart you glovebox and using the spray vinyl adhesive for the face of the glove boxe and something stronger on the folded edges which hold it on. I used Crazy glue.Buy more fabric then you need. And don't be afraid to kinda stretch it around the corners too so you don't have to folds. You can also do this for the fabric inserts in s14's in the doors. Atleast one good thing came out of being dragged into craft stores with my mom as a child.
