Thoughts on Fiberglass Rear-Skirt Design

Ok, So... I've yet to do anything major, not even as much as a grill block (but if i can get my hands of some black plastic they'll be done this weekend)

But i'm considering rear skirts. The thing is, I can't screw cardboard or plastic on the outside of my car. The car is still new, with 25k on it, and still pretty. What i'm thinking is, Could i make nice looking, smooth wheel skirts out of fibreglass, and mount them in the rear wheel wells? That way I could paint them, (or have a body shop professionally paint them.... i know a guy), and they wouldn't look ghetto. I've never worked with fibreglass, and i have no idea what the costs would be. I'm not sure how you'd make a nice smooth mold either.

Thoughts?
