I hope the designers knew what they were doing when using dissimilar materials on the hood, being from the Fibre industry I have seen some poor placement of the products.

On another note, it would almost be impossible for the part to crack after it was cured, this happened as it was made, probably a poor release from the mold. If your part is good now you are golden.

Good to know man. Like I said, I found mine with the car cold (so to speak) sitting in a hot garage. I also went back and looked at pics right after delivery from the dealership and you can see the cracks/blemishes there and the car was driven for all of 5 minutes.
