lmaopmp (lmao...piss my pants)
you know realise what your going to be told when you go to a shop and ask to have it repaired..... WHAT ARE YOU STUPID JUST GO BUY A NEW FUCKING ONE.... yes carbon fibre can be fixed but isnt worth the time or money when in a week your going to pop your hood for something and it just break in two.... just go buy the new hood and for time being use a stock one.... and if you have a problem with that  Ducken Fick (spoonerism) suck a dick or something i dunno....__________________

Its going to cost just as much to either wrap it again or even to wetsand and re-clear it. Like stated above but said nicer, buy another hood.

Sand it out, and paint it the color of the car. Stealth hoods get stolen less.

it happend to me and since at the time i was working in the military we had acces to the carbonfiber sheets and resin and vacum containers that we use for the helicopters so i fixed it my self and even went as far as making a nice scoop for it but that was because i knew what i was doing since the Army trained me to play with Kavelar and carbonfiber....lol one of the many trades the US army have....lol

It's all fun and games. I just thought i'd say what I said cause I was in autozone the other day and saw the carbon fiber wrap and remembered thinking to myself, "dam I just spent $600+ on fenders and almost $700 for my hood when I could've just bought the cheap shit" lol
