Default are there any issues w/ fiberglass hoods?
I'm really thinking about getting the Kaminari hood in the fiberglass version, but I'm concerned about the hood cracking or the paint doing something weird since the hood will be opened and closed alot. Should I be worried about this, or are fiberglass hoods sturdy stuff?

I'm just saying with it being a hood, as opposed to say, a front lip, its going to have more force put upon it whenever it is closed.
