Default '72-'73 Fiberglass Valance

I searched the archives, but I didn't see much come up for a replacement '72-'73 front valance in fiberglass. Does anyone make a front valance for the '73 in fiberglass? What is the quality? I know there were some on the market many years ago, but there were fitment issues. I have the ABS version from Parts Place, but I'm not sure I want to use it. My '73 had the plastic valance, but being young & stupid years ago, I threw the broken one away.

Maybe Tazz has a carbon fiber unit you would like.

So what is the consensus on the Part Place ABS valance? My '73 needs a replacement valance, and I want to get the best one on the market.

I have a 70-72 fiberglass unit hanging on the wall. It didn't well, so I ended up using an original. I don't know if the late 72-73 style fits better?

I bought one from
Second Gen Graveyard that I decided not to use, and instead had my original repaired. I think it’s OER? I’d sell it if you were interested.
