Fiberglass can get pretty heavy...especially if you want it to be fairly strong.

What would definitely be lighter would be plastic....You might be able to talk a rotomolder to make some smaller pieces. The larger and more complex the mold, the more money it costs. The part itself will be relatively inexpensive...maybe $70 for a trunklid out of HDPE (although HDPE gets a little soft in the summer sun, plus you would have to match the plastic to the paint)
A plastic injected mold would be way too expensive.
