You can plate on fiberglass (and other non-metallic surfaces) with chemical conditioning that uses a palladium sensitizer, followed by electro less copper, electrolytic copper, nickel and then chrome. I spent twenty five years building circuit boards which are made on a glass reinforced epoxy substrate. If there is a lot of flex in your piece or high levels of vibration, it may be problematic long term. You might be better off with spun aluminum that is polished and clear coated. It would probably be lighter too.
