Question To fiberglass or not to fiberglass

I'm going to do a lot of work on my interior. I've always hated that tan color so I finally went black. I got the carpet and seats from an oz rally lancer. I got the headliner redone black. I've painted the doors black and blue. Most of the plastic pieces are already blue. I'm happy but not satisfied. I'm going to do the top part of the dash. I'm not sure if I should just paint it, or fiberglass it first and then paint it. I know i'm going to fiberglass that panel where the stereo goes and i'm going to do all of the door panels to make room for my three way driver component system. I hate choices. Thanks for any help on this matter. Side note... for all of you who said that a tranny swap is expensive and costly... its not when you have access to all your parts at a junkyard. I'm picking up the ecu, transmission, pedals, and center console for only 400 bucks. I still need other parts but thats not bad to get stuff started.

if you have the money go fiberglass! imma redo my paint job on my interior also. Right now i have a grey and whiet interior but imma go either metallic black and metallic blue or metallic white and metallic blue. The people who helped me do the paint job was pretty lacking and half assed so imma redo the whole interior once again.

right now i have that sand color and i thought about going black. i've redone a lot of the interior to go with a black and blue theme. i thought about going with a different color though. if i don't go black, then i wanted a unique color. and no, i don't do pink or purple. lol
