[QUOTE="Mike Wilson, post: 537160, member: 62656"] Did you buy the vehicle used? Someone else may have put on a 'glass hood as an upgrade or performance option. As far as I know, all factory Trac hoods were sheet metal. Just checked mine and the wife's, and they are both metal, at least on a 2005. (Magnet sticks, weld seams, etc...). My best guess is if it is a fiberglass hood, these are common problems with the spider-webbing, or "checking" of the paint, due to excessive heat (no hood insulator pad), or improper preparation of the surface prior to the original coats of paint being sprayed. Give us more specifics, if you can, and we might be better able to help you with this problem... [/QUOTE]
