i thought about a hoodstripe and just advancing it forward about an inch, but i can slightly feel the crack when running my fingers across it, so i think it would show up under the hood stripe.

so now the current idea im toying with is a hood protector but i need one as small as possible

if there are any other ideas i havent thought of, im open to suggestion. paying another 675 for a cf hood and delivery just aint an option
call up the place that you bought it from and tell them its cracked.

Im surprised it cracked my CF does not have that issue and I have the latch on it. I say you call them and tell them theres a hairline crack that has developed and see what happens.

yeah, i measured mine for you, and the edge on the ends of the bra is 8.5'' more or less, and the middle is 5.25'' so it would definately kill you on getting to your latches.
