look for stress cracks in the paint where the fiberglass may have bent, look for cracks in the fiberglass and look at the mounting points.

Depends on what it is. My Steeda hood I had on my '03 was smooth as a baby's arse. However, cheaper fiberglass parts may have small imperfections that will need to be smoothed out before paint, etc. Some parts may even be wavy. For instance, Harwood products are notorious for being wavy especially if its a pin-on part.
