redoing my interior

I got bored with the stock look and wanted to customize the interior a bit. I started playing with fiberglass and this is what I've come up with so far. This is my first time attempting a project like this. Let me know what you all think here are some pictures of the progress so far.

First layer of fiberglass

You got ***** trying this for the first time on your car's interior.

Not something I'd go for but kudos for taking on a project like this.

Please put a screen or something over that speaker..... or at least make the hole round.

And the lighting.....

Ok. I'll cut you a little slack there. But having the speaker showing like that just makes it look hacked up. Your reupholstery looks good though.

Would you suggest putting the speaker grill over top the speaker or what type of screen?
