Depending on what fleece you get, it's usually only stretchy in one direction. I have to imagine that's what was used in that video, since it's a pretty normal use for polyester fleece.

A little polyester resin will set it permanently, if you want to hold the shape. You can make a frame to the shape you want out of any tough wire, or thin strips of wood. You can lay wax paper over any area you don't want the fabric to stick to once you apply the resin to it. Afterward, application could be as easy as dzus fasteners in strategic places, and removal would be just as easy.

This is how really cheap body kits are made in your driveway, BTW. You can make the frame out of chicken wire and put papier mache over it, as well, which will keep a better visual of the final shape until you put the fabric on it.

Not sure how permanent of a mod you want to make, though.
