Anyone have any pointers on fabricating the back panels?
Here are mine
Now the section that I painted green (not the masking tape), I want to make soft with fabric to match my back seats. I have no clue how i would go about making it work and stay in shape with the panel. I was thinking some spray glue , but that would still make the outcome hard.

Place fabric onto 1/4 inch foam, glue fabric on back of 1/4 inch foam.
Glue 1/4 inch foam back to panel.
Ooooo soft and spongy.

If you want in softer than factory, then try foam-backed fabric... Try this--->

Nope...well it shouldn't. Use a fabric with a good backing and you won't have any issues. Don't buy some cheap cotton-like material from the fabric store, the glue might soak through.
Meh...Vecia beat me.
