I fiberglassed a gauge pod to my a-pillar and that went really well, but when it came time to cover it, I had some problems with the seam. The material I found that matches my interior perfectly doesn't stretch much if any, it's just enought to wrap around curves if I pull it real tight. Since it doesn't stretch, there has to be a seam. This is just headliner material with about 1/8" foam backing. Any tips for doing the seam better next time?

humm, is there a way to remove the foam backing? I would think that that would allow for a little more flexablity in the material. Anyway, just food for thought.

It took 4 trys to get that above. when I was ripping off one of the previous attemps, the backing came off so I played with it a bit, it wasn't any stretchier. I think I'm just going to try and make a nicer cut next time. I'll be starting on mine this weekend.
