The TS hood wont crack b/c its so flimsy that it will bend and deform from just being on the hood prop for a couple hours. The weave is terrible in the corners and around edges and the CF is so flexible that painting the hood almost impossible b/c the damn paint cracks afterwards just from how much the damn thing moves around. Not to mention the huge flat spot the hood developed from the engine heat after it had been on the car for about 45min. The hood latch rusted over while it was being stored in my house. They put so little resin and UV coatings on it that you can actually feel the texture of the weave.
Oh and when I contacted TS USA about some of these problems they said I was on my own. They also wouldn't cover a cracked diffuser that I got from them b/c the guy that was helping me was no longer there and they didn't have the information anymore.
I would never buy another CF product from TopSecret ever again, even if it was half price. The fiberglass stuff they make is downright awsome but everything is
Sorry had to rant a little.
