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 had a fiberglass front valence for quite a while. It was OK, but low enough that it took damage from the blocks at the front of parking spaces, or possibly from curbs at the front of parking spaces. The underside was rather chewed up, especially where it went around the torsion bar caps. (I didn't cause all of the damage, but I will admit to being less careful at least a few times when parking.) It did withstand multiple cone hits.
When I had my car painted, they took the valence off the car. Due to the damage, it was very flimsy and flopped around. I'm actually amazed it didn't break into multiple pieces. I decided not to put it back on the car. I have a metal one now that I have to paint and install.... Any year now.... --DD |
