Re: Steel Ram Air II
I'm not sure of the overall quality on the fiberglass hoods that are currently available, but there is no reason that a F/G hood should distort unless it was made with questionable materials. The hoods we will be making will not distort.

Re: Steel Ram Air II
ding ding ding! thats the key, cheap hoods with cheap materials = warping and short lifespan before cracking.

Re: Steel Ram Air II
I bought mine from Hawks, and people say that they make some quality pieces. Mine just has a few warped spots on it and a couple cracks. Sorta pisses me off.

My hood is over 6 years old and only has small paint cracks near the hinge mounts.
