AMS hood problem...

so i drove my car today...and on the way i heard a noise crack..... i pulled over...checking if my windshield or maybe the headlight lenses...but unfortunately it was the AMS hood....

is there anyway to fix this crack....? contacted ultimatemotorx and they told me there is no manufacture warranty on these hoods....

Just a heads up no manufacturer warranty on these...

Ouch man, how long have you had it and how big was the bump you hit? I have the exact hood and would not like something like this to happen :/.

Glad I saw this. Ive been considering this hood for a while. You may have just made up my mind.

looks like the hood flexed taking a corner and finally got a stress crack from the looks of it. anything rubbing on the hood anywhere in the engine bay or fenders?

I was thinking about this hood to.wow

Did you reinstall the stock heat shield (or a new one) underneath on the inside? Excess engine heat can cause these to crack.
