Hey all. I had my VX Ironman for 12 days , did 1200 miles on it, so now it has 16k. I have an original hood and all the parts on the car, although I had my mechanic Alex from Alley Autobody (Lynn, MA) look over it and the hood was one of the things he mentioned. I wanted to paint the hood insert and the cladding, but he told me not to even touch any plastic parts durng very hot and cold weather because deformatoin can be cause by applying pressure with the tools and then temperature change.

seems emperature is the key ???
