Default Molding Sideskirt Methods?

Was wondering if anyone could help me out here. I need a good, really strong and really easy method to mold some sideskirts. I used fiberglass and bondo before on mine, and after a bad winter its all cracked. I want to repaint my car so I want something that will not crack again and cause headaches. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

do you have any experience with fiberglass? I say let the body shop do that for you, do it right one time.

Yes I do, but it was just WAY too much time and not a very strong method, fiberglass doesnt flex too well and its hard to work with, i know there are at least two other methods i read of before I just cant find them.
