Hello,
i want to change my floor, roof(sagging) and door carpet.

How hard would this be? Has this been done before? any pictures?

Where could i get already made fitted carpets? i have searched JC whitney and not found them.

Regarding the front speaker grill, how could i paint them?
 
I re-did my roof on my car by myself and it was not fun, you will need 2 people to do it, and the glue I used didnt hold so I ended up just taking the whole roof out and have'nt got around to fixing it again.
 
I just re-did my roof today form nasty faded grey to black. You don't need two people because mainly there isn't a whole lot of room for another person so don't get discouraged about^^^^^. I went to Wal-Mart and got me a yard of their fabric for a buck and sanded all the old rotted foam cleaned it up and used 3m adhesive spary to keep in place. let dry for an hour or two and put back......your done!

Not hard......
 
I did the exact same thing to mine as ^^^^^^. I found an easy way to get it lined up was to thumb tac the fabric to the hard foam and pull down a little at a time and spray the adhesive. Once the adhesive dried i cut the fabric to size, painted the christmass tree clips, replaced them and that was that. I found it rather easy to do and i love the results. Just make sure you scrape all of the old foam off first otherwise your adhesive wont hold. I am also coverting my whole interior from light gray to black. I recommend dupli color's vinyl/fabric paint you can get at autozone. As long as you clean your surface well before you paint it it works great. If you dont it will peal. You should be able to use that paint to do your speaker covers, and if you take you time and put multiple thin coats on you can probably do your carpet too( i am thinking of doing this) Pm me if you want to know anything else.
 
is the 2g as simple also?
Anyone have pictures on how it turned out?

How could i paint the 2g speaker grilles?
 
i'm sure the 2g is just as easy. You have to remove the plastic panels around the liner but they pop right off as does most interior panels.
