hey guys, was woundering if anyone else was having trouble with their firehawk hood. I have a 2000 black hawk and the paint on my hood is starting to crack, and in one spot even a chip. This is only happening on the hood, car has never seen snow, garage stored 50k.

Known issue. Been there, done that, ...
Yes, there are many reports of spider-webbing, cracks, chips, etc., etc.

Yes, I have some of the bubbles in the nostril area & the spider-webbing cracks in the rear corners.

It's up to you to have it fixed or repaired.
Search 'hood bubbles paint', and/or other terms & you'll find history of the issues over the years.

My hood was so bad it was repainted by the dealer before initial delivery! Even now, I can still see where it wants to bubble up right between the ram air inlets. It's only a matter of time before it will require repair.
