Only problem with these is just like anything else made out of fibreglass with a gelcoat top coat. It will eventually crack and youll have to repair it.

I personally don't have any experience in them. But, I can imagine them to warp from the heat of the engine?

Didn't people have problems with the bonnet flying open at speed?
Bonnet pins might be an idea if thats the case.
