[Shotimes] Hood question

[Donald Mallinson]

Why do that?  The plus hood won't dent like a regular one, 
and we know it is ligher, and even if only 10 pounds, that 
is worth NOT having on the car (the weight).  Only reason I 
can think of that you would take it off the car is to make 
sure it wasn't at risk in a wreck?  Only a few delaminated 
early in the run, that I know of, most of the later ones 
were fine, and the replacement hoods like the one I got, 
don't seem to have any problem.
