Fiberglass mods, but using existing parts

I'm just wondering a quick question, lets say I wanted to change a plastic panel in my car... I like the stock look, but I just want to add a little something extra to it. Is it possible to simply use the existing piece, and just sand down a piece and stick the fiberglass directly to it?

I'm just wondering because I like the stock look, but I would love to maybe take away some of the boxy-ness of the pieces and perhaps add some fiberglass over top of the pieces to help them flow together a little better.

Anyone heard or seen the results of this?

Re: Fiberglass mods, but using existing parts

there is a bonding agent on the market to do this. I thinks its made by 3M. You can do it...But the first thing you bump it may break off. Because the plastic is flexable.go to a automotive paint supply place..they'll know what i'm talking about. Use a caulking like gun...Have fun

Re: Fiberglass mods, but using existing parts

you could always use the stock piece and make some sort of mold, then just make a whole new piece out of fiberglass and round the edges how you want them.
