it would if i  was you i would drill loads of small holes around the area to give tha fibreglass something to key onto.

use wilsons p40 (i think) ask veedubgti16v he knows loads about fibreglass, he has built bumpers and speaker pods with it.

dont talk to me about fibreglass >:( :D


all sounds fine, but i would get the dash covered rather than spray it, that will look nasty and you would have to do a lot of prep work to spray it. cover it with vinyl for the OE look, or alcantra if your feeling flush ;D

alcantara is expensive, but I've been told you can get something that looks practically the same for a fraction of the cost :)
