ebay ss hood turned out great looking but...
recently got my whole car repainted along with a ebay fiberglass ss hood. The hood was a disaster to prep and had to be painted 2x but it came out looking flawless and fits perfect...only thing.. this hood is extremley light and i feel like im going to break it everytime i close it.. do any of you have a hood like this? anyone have any problems? btw i will have pics posted of new paintjob and hood asap. ty

Gonna have to agree with the above post. I have an aftermarket fiberglass WS6 hood and it too feels very weak and liable to break every closing. Every time I pop the hood I always check the attaching points all around because I'm convinced it's gonna crack one day.
Of course, the alternative is paying almost $2K for an OEM hood (at least for the WS6 hood), or scouring ebay and getting into a bidding war, and/or having to deal with seller nonsense.
Oh btw, are you using your stock hood struts? I'd recommend against it. I bought aftermarket struts rated at 35#, I think...
