Its hard to get fiberglass to stick to plastic ( you have to sand it to a rough surface and drill holes in the plastci to let the rsin seep through to grasp onto the plastic.

There is a much easier way to do this, its called plastic weld, its basically like a putty that hardens to a plastic type finish which can be sanded pretty easily.

Hope this helps.

if you mean make them from scratch, then you could use various things to make a skeleteon of the structure then staple cloth to the bones (MDF usually), soak it with resin, then glass it for strength ill search for a good link

take off your old interior and make a mould of it using fiberglass that will give you a perfect shape. but then your going 2 have 2 worry about all the clips on the back.

I you want to jazz up your interior i would head 2 the scrap yard and buy some trim for your car it will cost pennies (sorry cents) then buy some of that plastic weld and just use it the same as fibreglass.
