and anyone expects fiberglass to be strong??? of course its gonna crack if you hit ANYTHING. thats one of the risks you take trying to look good or save weight.

i bought a kit from accolade as well and i guess i had high expectations. when my kit came, i wasn't impressed at all. but after spending a bit more to get it fixed up and looking good, i was very happy with how it turned out. we'll just see how long that'll last. but i'll most likely never buy a fiberglass kit again.

A friend of mine has a fiberglass kit on his '02 OZ and had bad problems with spider cracks as well. He has since taken the kit off, applied another 4 layers of coarse hair glass, and 2 rattle cans of truck bed liner to the inside. Will it hold up better? Have to wait and see I guess.
