This was discussed at length about a year ago. John Jaranson is the expert 
here. The problem is twofold: The replacement fiberglass parts are of uneven 
thickness, and there is no really structurally sound way to attach the pans to 
the car and the seats to the pan.

IMO, you're MUCH better off welding in a piece of metal that you bend up to 
fix just the bad parts of the original pan.
