As for aftermarket parts meant for use on public roads, that is a huge gray area that no one would bother tackling. Legislation regulating that would be as narrow as cheap prototype aftermarket parts, to entire panels made out of bondo as a way of fixing something. It's too broad and would take an army of lawyers to figure out wording that ends up being of zero benefit to the public. -alex |

The hood is not factored into the overall crumple zones of the car (Gold star to Ultra) but has vital zones all of it's own (Gold star to Mav). The hood has several "fracture points" built into it. These are those straight indents in the ribs. There are several angled ones at the very top/front and some on most of the ribs about half way down (see pic). The express purpose of these points it control the bend in the hood in a collision. The front ones bend the very end of the hood in and down and the middle ones bend it in half. These bends keep it out of the passenger compartment. He showed me a video of a car being tested through development (can't say what) where they did not have a good design for the fracture points. When it hit the hood did not bend, snapped the hinge pins, shot through the windshield and stopped at the B pillars. Now, as Mav said some of the cheaper hoods simply mold from the stock and do nothing but cut holes. Since the fracture points are designed for aluminum and tin they are not going to do a thing for fiberglass and carbon fiber. You can draw your own conclusions as to what the results could be in a crash. I am sure that some of the higher end ones take this into account and manufacture the points in but it is certainly a question I would want to ask. So... Cut holes into the hood sheet metal all you want but do not, under any circumstances, mess with those cross braces or at least understand the risks if you do.
