Default Best way to "mold" pillar pod to a-pillar

I'm going to be getting my a-pillars wrapped in cf soon and would like to have a triple pillar pod on there at some point. I think I'm just going to buy one and put it on and leave it empty for a while until I get the gauges. That way, the pillar and pod are both wrapped and flush. Anyways, before it goes off to get cf'ed I'd like to mold the pod onto the a-pillar. What is the best product to use? Remember, its going to get cf laid over the top of it so finish isn't really ALL that important. All tips and advice welcome.

No opinions on CF welcome in this thread

you could try a urethane body filler to make it look even, urethane with give it some flex...

Is it sandable? I'd like to be able to even out the edges when it dries if at all possible. Can I just get it at an autoparts store>?

If you mold the 2 together you might want to look at cutting out the area behind the pod. I'd imagine it would be a pain in the *** trying to wire and service the gauges otherwise.

Cool I appreciate the input guys. Are all triple pillar pods pretty much the same price or is there a cheaper sponsors out there? Looking to purchase this within the next two days, so if you know of a good place post it up (or PM me if not a sponsor). Thanks
