    They are not available in metal. I think somebody makes them in fiberglass.

    Thanks Craig I'll start searching. I have steel ones, front needs work but it would be nice to have a spare since they're so hard to find.

    I have a new old stock front one. Nearly perfect (one very small ding, not even a dent).

    MaverickMan...Wanna work something out?

    I would love to have these things more accessible. I spent 5 years looking for a nice one, just recently got it, and will not mount it until I paint, so I don't bang this one up too.

    Speaking about another project to take on, did anyone ever come up with the aftermarket rear wings for the big bumper cars that line up with the Grabber rear spoiler? Maverick Man said that he would consider making those parts in fiberglass if he had a decent piece to copy. That would open up the rear spoilers to us big bumper owners, which would be cool.

    Hey!
    Where's our CF Grabber hoods???
    You got too many projects to start another! ;)

    True though that valances are just 2 of many things that we need available in the repop market.

    Let us know how you do with UP.
    They have been around forever.
    But they have changed hands a few times in recent past, quality and customer service are said to have suffered badly.
    Please give us an update on how long it takes to get to you and the quality/fit of the part.
    It would be nice to know if this problem was temporary or is ongoing.
    They do have many parts for our cars that are generally hard to find.
