Only ones I've seen first hand have required a little fettling by the installers -- or were custom made in the first place.

You know Drew, that brings up a good question. When these people make this stuff, it is supposed to be "custom made"! So where are they getting their dimensions? Are they just guessing, or is it that they just have no pride in their product and don't give a hoot? They want our money but not our recommendations to other buyers. Doesn't show much intelligence on their part, does it! I won't get into the chinese junk, that's another rant! PJ

The whole nature of fiberglass parts make them require some fitting. Anyone who has ever made a fiberglass part from a mold knows that even if the prototype part you molded from may be perfect fit, the nature of molding, and pulling the part from the mold changes all this to a degree. Bottom line almost all fiberglass parts require some fitting to get right. The Moss front fiberglass Sebring valance is some what of challenge to mount, it has to flex/stress mounted and take a bit of pushing in on the very ends. Tony Jennes make a front Sebring style valance as well, but from made from polyurethane,and it is made to flush mont for those running bumper-less, but can be used with bumpers, as well
