Looks very good. You do all the cuts and sewing yourself? Do you have a background in this?
I don't have a upholstery background, but it's pretty easy. There is only a couple stitches that you will need to use. You'll need a walking foot industrial sewing machine that can found on craigslist for $400-600 . The key is use marks about every 6 inches to line up the pieces and to cut an accurate pattern and if the existing vinyl has a odd curves from being stretched for years, you'll need to make the new pattern have the same odd curve so it will match how the foam has been squished.
Theres some great videos on Sailrite that show you everything you need to know.

Buy the marine grade carpet. I usually get the supplies from a local upholstery supply shop, but if you want to order it online try

Incredible job on the floor. I just re-did the carpet on my vlx this week and it was a ton of work. I can only imagine how many hours it took to pull this off.
