Have you thought of contacting a SPF dealer? I for one have never seen any SPF cars with cracks in any fiberglass, and I am a Superformance dealer that has seen hundreds. Sorry, I did see one once that had been in an accident and repaired improperly.

Definately not Stress cracks, as the hood is not connected to the frame in any way and only floats on latches and rubber snubbers...so where would we find stress? Lets face it guys we never even found stress cracks in those vettes that were know for stress cracks, their stress cracks were always betwen the hood opening and the headlamp opening, which made perfect sense as the body torqed.

That older car number tells me that it has been out there for at least a few years, since we are now on car number 1800+. Seems strange that it had not surfaced earlier. Are you the original owner? Has it been repaired or repainted before? Sounds more like a film thickness issue with too much paint applied.

I am not sure what Matt is referring to as normal thickness, but none of our cars has had any problem with the thickness of fiberglass and cracking. I have deal with two that had a seperated under the hood area and showed up as a crack where bonding of the inner panel on the hood was. Easy fix.
