There is alot of great info on here on what materials to use to avoid the craking of molded fiberglass to metal. I was thinking about molding my side scoops, but not the end caps. I was just wondering if molding them right has anyone one had any issues of know of any one who has. The car will be driven hard and i want to avoid cracking. But i think molding them looks rather clean and helps with the certain portions of the scoops which are poor fitting. Thanks

If you havn't considered frame rail connectors, you may want to add them as the body flexs a lot, which leads to cracking (like at the rear quarter window)
