Default WTF is up with the aluminum hood
I have a aluminum hood. These things dent when you look at them. We just had a storm move thru and I was on hail watch. Had a aluminum hood on my 450 and acorns would dent it. Luckily no hail hit the 150 but my 11 Cherokee didn't fair so well, looks like I'm calling my agent in the morning.

I now see a lot of posts with WTF in the title.

WTF.

WTF does its stand for and why do so many posts need to have it?

Thanks

I'd take it back to the dealer and demand for a steel hood.

I got a paint chip on my hood the other day and it is shiny aluminum underneath the black paint.

Maybe I will have it striped so it's all aluminum...

Actually I think its plastic with an aluminum cap around it. Thats why when you see pics of these trucks after they caught on fire the hood is always missing
