It actually not that hard to get a 3d shape using 1/4" panels. Just cut in a pie wedge and just pull the ends together with duct tape then glue the edges together with some 2 part polyester foam available from most any place that sells composite supplies.
Here was a fairing I made for a trike using 1/4" pinkboard just about like your tailbox on your truck. it has a single layer of carbon on it.
