What I want to do is get that hood and those extensions' and then have the shop bondo all the cracks where you cal tell it's on there and the smooth it and paint over it, I want to do the same with the window scoops and side scoops, both of them are the eleanor ones. So it'll be bondo'd over the cracks to make it look like it's actually part of the car

I gave that set up the benefit of the doubt before I saw it in person...
When I did see it, it confirmed my fears: Yikes!

Keep in mind that it's only subjective.
My taste or anyone else's, shouldn't be what dictates the things you're gonna do with your car.

That will never work as you'll never be able to prevent the cracking.
If there wasn't a problem with this concept, you'd see things like that all over.
You can't marry plastic urethane with fiberglass or with metal. It won't bond for long...
