Fiberglass Experts, opinions wanted
I'm thinking of a brand new interior for my car...the vinyl is getting worn and warped, so I was thinking of an overhaul...floor, dash, pillars, doors and maybe the headliner. Colors in mind are black and royal blue.
My questions for the experts are:
How much would you estimate this project to cost me if I were to do it myself?
how long do you think it would take?
What are your recommended brands of materials?
Any advice or links to help me out through the process?

US composites B440 resin is supposedly the best, i got a gallon jug but never opened it yet, you can get it cheap off their website, but your going to need a lot of chopmat aswell which can be expensive

I'm hoping for Richie and Joel to chime in...as I know they have a good general idea of how much materials I will need because they have actually done this.
I'm thinking of having real diamond plate steel down for the "floor mats", and glassing the rest (floor, plastic/pillars, front and back dashes, and custom center console)
plan for the center console: shaving off the "elbow rest" cubby hole. I just don't use it and it is crushed between my new seats anyway.

lotta mats and time. I can't really give you an estimate. and it would depend on how much you eff it up and have to redo.
