ok i have the fiberglass corssfire hood the flaps do not work i know of a steel crossfire hood same thing whach one is lightr i want to say the fiber glass one.And whach one is made batter and has cleaner lines and will last longer? and if you had to pix fiberglass crossfire hood vs steel crossfire hood what one would you pix.?

 

The fiberglass one is probably lighter. They'll probably last about the same amount of time and the steel one probably has better lines.

 

the fiberglass one is indeed lighter. and if you do change to the steel hood, youll need to change your hood shocks as well. the fiberglass hoods use a weaker shock than the steel hoods.

 

Fiberglass is lighter, steel probably has cleaner lines, longevity depends on treatment, if maintained either will last forever, if not, well the steel hood can rust out, the glass one cannot, but it can however be damaged/broken easier.

 

All Crossfire Camaros had the fiberglass hoods with functional hood flaps. They never had steel hoods, which were about 20 lbs heavier.

 

Also keep in mind the CFI glass hoods had some "issues" in the early years. There is a TSB about the hoods coming apart at speed, smashing the windshield, etc. Something to think about when considering longevity.

 

2 words: hood pins, even if it delaminated it wouldn't go anywhere, and really, fiberglass is not at all hard to repair, and requires no special tools, unlike steel.
