I was typing while SunsetDart was posting. Like he said, I'm not doing the type where you make a mold, form a part inside and pop it out when done. What I'm doing is making the form in the shape you want, fiberglass over that form, and then do final shaping/sanding/filling using bondo, more resin/cloth, etc. I made my basic shape from corrugated cardboard to give me a flat surface for my shifter boot and decided to add a couple of cup holders and a catch-all depression for sunglasses, etc. I don't like the boxy look, so I'm trying the fleece process, learning as I go, to soften the profile a bit.
