packjh Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I went to a body shop today to get the quote for the install i wasnt happy with the price so i going to check around other places, but while i was there he told me that if they molded it that it would crack in the winter here. I was just wandering if anybody had one in a cold climate so that i had some idea of what would happen to the molding if i did have it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see the same happening with plastic and or a seam/filled area because it will get very brittle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan06SS Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Get one that is made of steel. Sir Michaels <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That'd be a great suggestion......... if he didn't have an SS I don't think anyone that has molded in a pan has experienced severe cold... I know the pan on my SS never had a problem, but the worst it saw in winter was 50's, that... most of the time it was dealing with heat. My suggestion is that if you are unsure don't do it... it'd really suck to have to try and fix it if it did crack... just leave the seems... they don't look that noticable anyways IMO.

Stitches040 Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 I'm not to sure about the Glass, But if it is similar to the plastic our Front Bumper Covers are made of ... It won't last. I tapped a Snowbank that had been "Frozen" awhile. It was only about 15*F out, and it cracked the S% out of the Bumper Cover. Also Snapped off the grey Brake Duct clean off. This happened at Had a buddy with an aftermarket Cowl FiberGlass Hood. Where it Bolts to the hinges, it started to crack and rattle loose in the winter.
