I have the stockinteriors.com carpet in mine... it is awesome and comfortable (you DO have to trim all around the outside and cut every hole and everything out of the carpet, but I just used the old carpet as a template) :

you could dye the cover, but I just didnt care enough to do so for now. It depends on which material you choose how much it costs, shipping is like $40 or so

the replacement capet goes from firewall to the top of that piece on top of the t-top well, the factory carpet has that plastic trim on it, and the new one goes that far back. You can buy the new stuff for the t-top well and that area, but... I didnt really care about that part. I will probably dye the top black and leave all of the bottom (inside "trunk" grey)

For the gauge needles, just use a fork to pry them up.

you are the one who trims it when you buy it, so it should fit just fine when you are done. I laid the stock one on top of the new one and used it as a template to cut the new holes out.
