IF you learn how to fibreglass you'll save yourself a lot of money. Also you could try enquiring through hot rod shops/forums as they often have some tricked out interiors.

I learnt from reading a lot on the net and then trial and error. It takes time and is very messy but is not that expensive for materials and you are limited only by your imagination. If you have patience, you can obtain very good results.

Your time doesn't cost you anything, but if you were to pay someone to do the custom f/g work for you, expect to pay an arm and leg due to the amount of labour required.

A car audio shop I purchased all my audio gear from do custom installs, they noted the amount of work I have done to my car would be in the order of $5-6K just for the f/g work (not including any materials or audio equipment). If you decide to do it yourself, have a look at www.caraudioaustralia.com/forums/index.php as that is a good starting point - there are heaps of f/g resources on the net (esp. in the car audio forums)

heres a lead to help reduce the cost of materials. try talking to a boat builder or shipwright and see if he will sell glass and resin to you because they most likely will be cheaper than hardware stores other than that try a boating warehouse
