Fiberglass bumper covers?

Does anyone make 80's trans am bumper covers out of fiberglass other than the canada company that makes them but are designed to make the car look lower.

Just seems like you could get really good results from the fiberglass for a show car, probably not to smart on a daily driver, but im considering getting a body to do a build up on for a show car level starting next year about this time. And am looking for resources.

I would also like to find a fiberglass powerbuldge hood or a steel hood that doesn't have the insert into the powerbuldge cause may paint on my daily driver keeps wanting to peal right there. Or is it possible to weld that peice into the hood and grind it smooth.


edit:
I say 80's because I don't want the 91-92 style, I want the style off say an 88.

Mine's fiberglass, but I have no idea where it came from... I believe it was a collision repair piece, as it was on the car when I first got it. So I'm pretty sure they are out there!
