I saw an installation similar to what you described about 20 years ago.
My recollection was that it was painted with the krinkle type paint
similar to the center panel in the dash.. Or at
least the fascia was. sides, etc. I dunno...
If you are talking about a car that had the vinyl on the center panel, I
would guess a vinyl fascia would be appropriate.
