Lightbulb Custom Body kit

I am planning on building a body kit for my 02 SE. I have done alot of research and reading on the steps involved in working with fiberglass and making plugs and molds. I am looking for advice or tips from someone who has built a bumper or side skirts.

If I want it to be perfect I will have to take my time. I know that there will be alot of trial and error and I expect that it will take several months. I have found a company where I can get all my supplies from, including Carbon Fiber. ( For my purposes, I will be sticking to fibgerglass due to the high cost of the CF). Please, anyone that has made a bumper or body panel out of fiberglass, please dump your wisdom on me.

The website that I found is called the Fiberglass Warehouse and there website is www.fiberglasswarehouse.com. They have quite a selection of products available. I also checked out the www.selectproducts.com website and it looks like they have a good selection as well and more geared towards the automotive industry.
