you would probably be better off starting from a stock bumper, rather than starting from scratch. the big key here is going to be making both sides exactly identical.
i suspect, the best way to get a nice design is to negative mold one (read: expensive and time consuming). basically, you would form a mold that the bumper could fit into, and then carve out every last detail that you want to be in the finished product. but it would be a negative copy of the bumper.
then after a lot of mold preperation, i.e. sanding, smoothing, polishing... you would be able to lay the fiberglass into the mold. and after several layers... you will have a bumper. with this process you can also reuse the mold to make more of the same item... until the mold wears out.
like i said, that would give the best results... but it would be VERY expensive for a low production run.
