thinking of designing my own front bumper

Ok so i have a couple ideas for a front bumper replacement, bascially i want to take a stock bumper as a model and change a few things to make it my own. but not a whole lot, just enough to have people do a double take and go "Wait, what was that?" I have a couple of questions though.

1. If i made the changes w/ modeling clay or something similar would that be good enough for someone to make a fiberglass/urithane one for me?

2. Who should i talk to about the fabrication, body shop? some other place?

3. Ballpark what would this cost for a one time thing?


Any other suggestions for this undertaking would be apriciated too.

TIA for your help.

You can actually fiberglass it yourself, its not hard. You just need some time. I redsigned my whole front bumper on my Jetta and I had it nice and fiberglassed in about a day

cool, is there anywhere i can go to read about the process? and do i need any special tools to do this?

Also i was thinking if i base it off an existing bumber wouldn't it be slightly larger than what it is supposed to be, or is the difference so small it doesn't really matter?
