Has anyone else see stress or ridge marks on their hood from the flex at high speeds? Just curious, got a few popping up on center area of the hood.

Mine's still perfect with several high speed track days (~150 mph). Do you have the FG or CF version? Mine's FG.
I also have FG and have not noticed any on mine either.. but ive only done 4 track days at maybe 120..im not that fast...yet

Too Hot for the Boss!
I've got more pronounced dimples on the leading edge... and more paint missing, more rubber bugger marks. No cracks though.
I read on another forum that it's a good idea to heat cycle these hoods before painting them. If I'm not mistaken the CF are worse, I don't see how though. I don't have one so don't know for sure.
