Fiberglass valances Options

[Morph914]

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

Not sure if this will be on point....
I got a rear under the bumper valance from Sheridan about a year ago and while it might fit a stock teener it had to be cut in half and widened some two inches to fit his standard wide body. He was quite aware I was using it for one of his wide-bodies and wasn't all that helpful post sale ($275).
And yes, custom vehicles require custom work, but a fitment issue that far off is more like a hunrit buck part from China.

Yea seems to be a common issue,it appears makers of these parts know they don't fit but refuse to retool moulds due to the cost and just carry on making ill fitting parts,shame really as not everybody has the skills make the parts fit.
Some of the layup work can leave a lot to be desired,poor QC and unskilled labour helps little,this usually leads to stress cracking in the gelcoat surface...very hard to fix.
