Suncoast Fiberglass hood safety

I've been asked by a few forum members about the safety of fiberglass hoods. It is a great question. I cannot speak for other hood manufacturers but Suncoast builds in crush zones just like the OEM's. We've also taken the time to test some of them. I've uploaded a very short video of one getting slammed. Even if you don't care about hoods or fiberglass, its always fun to watch something explode.

If the local video viewer doesn't work, I'v got a link to the Youtube version at:
