your fiberglassing gets nicer and nicer

why not go for grew suede? a yard is only like 9 bux with shipping. unless your box is sstill covered in black carpet, i just think it would be weird to have black carpet in a car that's all grey suede and plastic

My wall is grey. PT's are multi colored inside from the factory. The only think that is black is the aftermarket seats (for now). The console is black bedliner, covered by grey suede panels.

Lol....let me say this again.....FAKE SUEDE DOES NOT STRETCH! :P:D

I used the $9 suede on my armrest and console side panels.

It was pretty time consuming to get this semi-backed carpet to stretch as it is, much easier than the fake suede!

My panel is completely flat so I plan to spray glue the ensolite foam sheet to the back to act as a gasket. I will remove the panel from the car, and use 3 small bolt/nuts with some wide washers and just bolt them to the panel from inside the pod.

(Can't see your pic while at work), I'll take a look when I get home. The best way to do uneven panels would be to cover the door panel with tape or aluminum foil and glass (the back of the pod) to match the shape of the door exactly, then build off of that. (Sorry if you already knew that!) :P

Sand and sand, the first pice of wood that will go against the panel....... OR cover the panel and actually Lay some glass down and use that...

Thanks guys. I did only one layer of fiberglass cloth on them. Sorry I did not take a pic at that step, but once I get the gloves on and the resin out, I don't touch my camera! :D They are solid and since I won't be running a lot of power to them, I did not feel any need for more than one layer of glass cloth on them.

If I had your panel, I would cover that whole corner with masking tape or foil and make a fiberglass mold of the shape of the panel there, then trim it to how you want the edge, then build off of that shaped base plate. That way it would turn out looking the nicest.

I am sure there are some pics around here that could give you some visual ideas to see.
