Anyone using a fiberglass hood?

I've been thinking about replacing my hood with one of the fiberglass hoods from USBody.

These hoods use the stock hinges and lock mechanism. I'm just wondering if they are tough enough. My stock hood is rusting along the front edge and the paint is shot. It also has a split in the sheet metal where the safety latch hits the hood as it closes. That's why I'm concerned about how well a fiberglass hood holds up.

I could buy a replacement stock hood but I liker the look of the hood scoop (GT500 style) - and fiberglass will never rust out.

If anyone has any experience with this company or has/is running a fiberglass hood, I would like to hear about it.
Thanks
