Has anyone fitted or seen the quality of either of these items from Sierra Madre Collection?

Fiberglass front lower valance: I am not sure who makes these for SMC. AA also sells them but for about $90 more than SMC. Perhaps they use different suppliers?
I may consider a steel one but finding a decent one can be difficult.

Complete taillight assemblies: I purchased new lenses from 914Rubber, but my housings are warped so the lenses won't fit. I am thinking of purchasing the complete assembly from SMC. If someone has installed these assemblies, I am curious as to how well they fit on the body of the car.

If you have any feedback on either of these items, it would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Reproduction tail light lens have been a hot topic. Seems 99 % do not fit properly to 50 yr old housing. Not sure about quality of SMC assemblies.

We resell lenses we get out of Germany now.
We initially did the AA ones, and they are the same as the SMC ones from what I could tell. They fit marginally. We did add an extra seal for the outside corner at one time.

Since them the German ones seem to be the best, unfortunately they are out of stock.

I have plenty of the afore mentioned ones and we are putting them on sale to get them out of inventory. I can get you a set of the German one we are just waiting on updated pricing.
