an easy way, that will allow you to make unique shapes is using a "special" mat.
Ive seen it being used to make kick panels for sound systems on cars.
I got Haynes ICE book (dont remember the exact title) and what they do is make a base, supports and another ring at the end of the supports, so you have the structrure with no skin. Then you place the mat, stretch and nail it to the base support, and then get the FG resins on top.
This mat looks more like a mope instead of proper FG mat, thats why it can be stretched...
The only prob would be a suitable place to get the mat. You could mount it somehow on the fenders and mounting face (heater channel) and then put some ribs to give it the shape u want. then i would put some proper FG fibres and resins to strengthen it around the egdes. Remember that the final product will be a bout as thick as the kitchen sink mope...
Hope i helped and gave some creative ideas...
