Hey,

So I'm thinking about buying a Varis FRP hood, but I was just wondering if anyone has had issues with FRP for a hood? I would imagine it is significantly weaker than Carbon Fiber, and I'd hate for it crack under high speeds/vibration/heat, just trying to save a couple bucks since I plan on painting it anyways but don't want to end up with a head ache!

Thanks!
