    those are pressure cracks on the hoods... they would have to V ed out and new resin applied then bodywork and paint. i would take laquer thinner and wipe off the white? paint and get your color touch up from a autobody supply store or local bodyshop to mix you up some. or have the cover removed sanded out and repainted to do "correctly"

    PM me if you need better instructions.

    Actually as im thinking about it I dont like the hood. Before I try to repair it im gonna try and find a black hood elsewhere I like the regular smooth hoods anyways. Whats your opinion on bras? Not the coolest thing out but im thinking of just doing that for now, I have a ton of other stuff to fix too.
