Re: Bonded Smooth Hood

I'd think doing it that way would lead to cracking out from flexing in a few months. You could possibly get away with bonding a 2 or so inch wide strip down the middle of the hood and blending it out but even that may fail after a while. From what I have seen bonded parts are parts that are in the main structure of the body of a vehicle and not in parts that flex some. Bonding a scoop to a wide hood works because the hood is rather stiff and one piece to begin with but I'm thinking that you will end up with stress cracks after a while.
