The chassis design along with the body style/flex, will I think, always see bits rubbing and moving. I have a friend that has a late Ferrari and he has similiar problems including some seperation and cracks in body work.
Guess I'm saying that it's the nature of the 'beast'...

I don't know if having the frame independent of the body is the solution, but I have an FFR and have not had any cracking issues. I have been down rough roads, been off track more times than I would like to admit, and on track I have reached straight-a-way speeds of about 170 MPH and corner speeds of about 160 MPH. (California Speedway roval)
My only issue is minute pitting, but I guess with enough track time that would happen no matter what.
