Small Cracks in engine bay...HELP!

[Red66GT]

I just noticed some small cracks in my engine bay and am wondering if anyone had similiar problems?

Basically, what the heck is going on, it kinda scares me... see photos

Could this have anything to do w/ me taking out the strut tower brace? It may be a coincidence, but they weren't there when the brace was in the car... (this is one reason I recently posted about the 03 cobra brace fitting, so it would clear my jlt cai...but I'd just take the cai out and put the stock brace back in if I have to)....

Anyway, how concerned should I be about these small cracks?

Are you sure those aren't just scratches???? I can't imagine it cracking there because there is no STB. I would think, if anything, it would crack closer to the strut tower....

Check to see if its cracks or just scratches... If they are cracks grind a V groove in 'em, drill a hole at each end and weld 'em up.

They're cracks, not scratches.. I just rechecked.
