i didn't mean put the heavy spray foam under it, buy foam blocks and shape that, it is a lot easier to work with, and very very light weight. i took a composites class and worked with a bit of carbon fiber, and to make stuff we shaped a piece of foam and overlayed it with the carbon/kevlar/fiberglass whichever we wanted and then vacuum molded it to the piece so there was no air bubbles in it. it comes out very rigid and light.

Man, i just typed all of this, but my internet screwed up, so i hafta type it all again, but here goes:
Remember when u first started i said to use the styrofoam blocks and shave it down? thatd be a heck of alot easier then all of that, i agree with the guys on here. If you go to www.alpine-usa.com, look at the pictures of the X5 showcar of theirs. They do custom widebody fender flares on there and have pretty detailed pictures of how they did it with the foam, itll help you out alot and cut down the time your spending, but i hope you get done with it and get it back up and runnin man.
P.S: I KNOW, I KNOW, IM GETTING ON THE DEL SOL FOR YOU!!!! LoL, talk to ya soon man
