Default wiper cowl replacement - 1 piece or 2 piece??

Mine finally broke. One corner of it is shattered into 20 pieces or so. I'm looking at them on latemodelresto and they have the one piece (130) and two piece (220). They say the one piece is for show cars and the two piece is "high quality reproduction, NOT OE". This has me leaning towards the one piece because I dont want some half *** plastic that doesnt fit and I'm not crazy about the seam in the middle. I'd like it to look like factory because i'm repainting the car and do NOT want carbon fiber or anything else. No junkyard option, I dont want to pay for another brittle one... I live in FL and the sun is brutal and I finally have a garage to keep my stang in.

Anybody who has replaced the wiper cowl, there should be plenty of you, did you go with the one piece or two piece? how was the fitment? where di you get it from? recommendations and photos are appreciated. thanks guys

**leaning towards the 1 piece for fitment and looks

american muscle has an OEM 1 piece for 200 bucks free shipping so right now that looks like what I'll be buying.

Anybody else have any input??

I bought a carbon fiber one from ebay....its actually a fiberglass bottom with a carbon fiber sheet. Its pretty damn nice and quite strong.
