From memory, they spray the mould with a release so the kit doesnt bond with the mould. Then they spray on the outer coat (not sure what this is though) and finally the fibreglass goes on the inside. Once took a week off work and spent it at the fibreglass shop so I could learn how to do it. Have made my own bodykit vents before - not really that hard. Getting the moulds will be your problem.....
