Default Can the weight of snow damage a cf hood?
Can the weight of snow damage a carbon fiber hood? i know snow can get heavy especially if it rains also. This will be my first winter with the cf hood and i was debating whether to put the stock hood on for the winter. Iknow the best solution would be my garage but my garage currently doesnt exist

don't worry about snow damaging the hood. CF is stronger than aluminum. It bends in and bends out. even if you jump on it you would not crack it.[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_KFshx6664 [/media][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ps1nWYBeV78 [/media]

You may not break the carbon fiber, but in the cold weather the gel coating on top can become brittle due to the weather.
