Fiberglass Hoods and Body Panels

I'm not so much looking to buy. I'm more interested in how they're made. Part of my focus for my bachelor's Senior project was composites and analyzing interlaminar stresses. Since I've never seen one in person, I was curious as to how different companies conduct their lay up and what material they use. I've seen a couple different ways of making a hood.
