Fiberglass might be an option but it needs someone with more skills in moldmaking than I have to do it. I tried it on the defroster before I finally used the ABS. Found I did not have the proper equipment and the fiberglass sagged too much in the simple mold pieces I made of the original cardboard duct outside shapes. The defroster duct has several elevation changes and was a disaster trying to hold the final form and shapes long enough to dry. The ABS cooled to shape almost as soon as it was laid down.

If someone can carve an exact shape with inside dimensions that the fiberglass could be laid over it might work. Other downside is the smell. I had made other fiberglass pieces and the stink was still fairly high a year later. Heat might make that come into play.
