Fiberglass Interior Panels

I was wondering what you guys thought of doing fiberglass interior panels. Its just that every time I look at third gens, the only thing that gets hung up on me is how cheap the panels look. Between the plastic screws, panels not matching up, and having painted mine black from gray. I know that fiberglass would be very difficult and not the right look for the car but do you think I could get it to work. If they do not look right I will just cover them. Any ideas on how to go about doing this? Any opinions are welcomed.

I did do a search and nothing came up for the back panels but my search criteria must have been wrong. I went into the fabrication area and found a thread titled something like "could this be done" but still only had couple responses, about doing carbon fiber.

Are you talkin about the panels in the back of the car? It shouldn't be too hard to make a mold with those and fab up some Fiberglass ones. It should look the same, but without the screws and you can modify them to match up a bit better.
