Fiberglass opinions please!!

I have heard many good and many bad things about fiberglass hoods. Are they supposed to sit in the sun for a certain amount of time? Or can i just install and paint it when i receive the hood in the mail?

Opinions please!!

Re: Fiberglass opinions please!!

letting it sit in the sun for a week or so before paint defiantly wont hurt.

just be sure to research the brand of whatever hood you go with, there are a lot of really shitty glass hoods out there.
