Default Injection Molded Valance?

Anyone have any experience with an injection molded front apron? I saw this one:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1965-...spagenameZWDVW
I have only seen it in fiberglass such as this one:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/65-66...spagenameZWD1V
Or SMC (what is that?) like this one:

Any ideas as to which would be better?
Thanks!

I've got the injection molded type valance. Got it from Texas Mustang for 140 or so a couple of years back. The fit and finish is very nice. It fit very well.

All 3 are of very similar price. I just want to buy the one that will fit the best, look the best, and be easiest to work with. Anyone have personal experiences?

Is the injection molded one rigid? Did it require fitting? Was it easy to work with?

I bought the injection molded front valence from NPD. I can't tell you much about the fit because I just mocked it in place real quick and thenput it back in the box. It looked pretty good even though I didn't spend any time fitting it.

I should be receiving a fiberglass one today from Mustangs Unlimited. I'll let you know what it looks like. But that indection molded one looks nice and you can't beat the price. Does someone make an injection molded r-model apron?
