Do to the lack of good metal valances available, I am considering fiberglass. Does anyone have experience with these? I'm concerned with strength, fitment, etc. Any words of wisdom will be appreciated. Or if anyone has a decent front and or rear valance they would be willing to part with, I am interested.
Thanks, John |

I have a fiberglass air dam, front and rear bumpers as well as fender flares on a track car. I too was concerned about strength. It has been absolutely a non issue. I have hit many cones at autocrosses and had the car to nearly 130 at Thunderhill many times. In terms of fitament I would anticipate that you will have to do some sanding, painting and hole drilling to make them fit. Find out who make the best fitting part and buy it knowing there will be work to some work to do.
