Thanks to SkyeHighSRT8 for bringing this up (how he came across it I'll keep to myself ;) )

So I try the magnet thing and nada doesn't stick to the hood, it sticks to the fender the hood latch but not the hood

What are the hoods made of??? Plastic???

I'd have sworn the hood was metal up until today :rolleyes:

Is that across the Grand Cherokee line, or SRT specific?

That is so good to hear. I was worried that my jeep was damaged and cheaply repaired at the crooked dealer I bought it from. They are CROOKED...(greenbier jeep, cheasapeake VA)
