How can I make fiberlglass interior panels?

I want to replicate the plastic interior panels in the back using fiberglass or maybe make them slightly different. What would be the easiest way to do this? Could I just coat them in some so they dont stick, fiberglass right over them, seperate and sand it down or would I not be able to get them to fit right. I would do it in 3 pieces most likely, right, left, and the back piece. I dont think theres any cheap way of making a mold for them. I also would want to figure out a better way to mount them while I was at it probably.

Is it true that they sell a foam spray that I could just spray over the panels to make a mold and then use the molds to make the panels? As you can tell I havent had much experience with fiberglass but I know people who do.

Im not going for the ***** look, just something better than what I have now. I would end up painting them the same color as my louvers and GFX which is a charcoal. My seats and door panels are black and charcoal.
