Is there any specific kind of carpet that shapes easier than others? I have some shaped interior panels I'd like to carpet - to match the rest of the oem panels. I took one to an automotive upholstery shop and the guy said that he had no way of "molding" the carpet.
I still think there has to be a way......

Heat. Almost all of your car's interior carpet was formed using a type of steamer. This and some good, quality spray glue would create the mold, and stick it to the panel. As to which type of carpet, your on your own,sry.

Use latex backed carpet and good glue. Just stretch it over and your done.

Check it out."molding" carpet is an entirely different process than you are wanting to do. Molding is putting carpetting to a mat of some sort(rubber) and making it take a specific form to fit in like your car. You are simply wanting to do what was mentioned above(basically upholestry). Just to explain why he couldn't do it.

The area isn't like trying to play twister with it or anything...in fact, its fairly flat with some curves. The issue-area is an area where it recesses into the wall then jaunts out to begin covering the rear inner fender (its a wagon).
If I was any good at fiberglass, I'd simply "fill in" the recess and go from there. The area is almost moot as its where I want to mount an amp.
