Just the stock forward plate (not the bling thing).
This is what I am wondering is if someone has BudBuilt or All-Pro plates on if this would help with the body flex and give the front end a little more support.... I think the bulge might still happen, but would help with the crack!
Stop Crack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just say no to Crack!!!!!
A cross between quasimoto and the elephant man..... But only the good parts!!!!!
Hello chewey46 it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums?
I know I have seen photos on this site of the hood separating from its support structure.
Could this be caused by the same forces?
Could the entire front section of the body flexing and compressing the area between the hood latch and the hood hinges, both of which are connected to the hood support structure, cause repeated shearing forces to the spot welds, resulting in failure?
Question: Do the owners who have experienced hood panel separation from the under-hood support structure also have the crumple zone cracks?
