It depends on what you fix it with . If Johnny bodyman fills it with polyester resin or body filler, sand it smooth and primers it, the cracks will be back for sure. They need to be fixed with epoxy or panel bond.

yeah that does suck, i really thought it was yours... jk

I guess I was lucky, my car was wrecked and I reassembled the entire front end and just popped the Cowl Hood on and it fit perfectly... I guess I'm just badass like that...
