For the Vintage car, I'm considering replacing the stock front lower valance with a fiberglass replacement.
Note: I am not allowed to use a spoiler so don't go there.

Does anybody that has tried one of these know how the weight compares or what the fit is like?

I'm concerned that since these are commonly made as cheap replacements for the stock metal, they could be thick or heavier than stock?

I'm also interested in leads for good prices.

thanks all for any help or input.

I have a glass front valance, because my steel one was buggered. It fits pretty well and is way lighter than the steel original. The only problem is none of the hardware for fitting it to the body was included, so all the holes needed to be drilled and the brackets required making and riveting on. Not that hard but a bit fiddly. Think my valance came from AA originally but I got them from a friend.
