Default Hypothetical question
Say a female would like to pose on the hood of your c5...would the hood support the weight of such a bold maneuver?

the female in question is of average weight, no heffalump.

i'm sure this has been attempted before...i'm not looking for pics, just wheather or not it works.

Yes. I have seen a C5 with about 10 girls on it before and have pics of it at home. Ive personally had 3 or 4 girls on the hood of mine before with no problems.

Make sure that they are properly shaved so as not to leave swirl marks.

If she's minus the added weight of clothing I'll let you test it out on my hood.

With my digi-cam I'll doccument it for the website. Yeah I know I'm a generous fella.

Put the heavier end over the hinges at the front of the hood where strength is the highest.
