That looks good. I like the perfect fit that you accomplished!
A tip for you regarding fibreglass.
When I have a seam to fill like the one that you have when you made your cuts, I get some metal foil tape. I use one strip shiny side facing the outer surface of the bumper, and then hold it in place with more tape, this time peeling and sticking it to the bumper, overlapping the first piece.
The idea is to create an outer mold using the tape. Then, when you add glass to the inside surface, it leaves the outer surface relatively smooth, with not much finishing work to do. When it hardens, remove the tape. THe resin doesn't stick to the shiny side, and if it does get stuck, just remove it with a power sander.
You could also use wax paper and regular tape I suppose, but I like the stiffness of the thin metal foil tape like is used for home heating systems
