It works perfectly fine without angle, if you have strong fabric and staple it well.

But the angle is free weight, and hence free traction. Why not use it, if the extra thickness doesn't impinge on any dimensional limit?

The angle also can help create a good surface if you are using velco to attach a bumper cover for the other color.
