messed up cf hood, fixable?
 
I took my cf hood off to spray a clearcoat on it. I was holding it vertically and I lost my grip so it tipped over, I had to grab it really fast but I only got hold of the edge and the fiber peeled and the resin shattered slicing the hell out of my hand and fingers. I should put a picture but you guys probably have an idea of how it looks. It's about a 4 inch square that's peeled up (Like uhhh.... like a banana! :D) But seriously is that fixable? how much? Or would it be better to buy a new hood because the ---- looks all nasty and not glossy anymore anyway?

Just get an epoxy resin at Autozone and glue it back together.

Wow... it peel back? ..was that like an OBX CF hood?!

I had a VIS hood take the brunt of my Dual Point intake manifold exploding due to a nitrous backfire a few years back and only had a small spider crack.

I'm glad I didn't have that hood.. the damn though would have shattred into a million peices.

Get a new hood. :(

Sounds not like a vis hood.

I had one a couple years ago on an old eg si. I hit some taurus going 20, and thehood was tough, barely chipped on the corner, even though my headlight assembly was pushed in about 6 inches. (No bumper support beam, weight reduction ) :-X
