Re: Can you repair a carbon fiber hood?

A body shop will be able to repair it. You might have to repaint it though. Best is to call up a body shop and ask.

Repairing carbon fiber is a very tricky thing. If the cracks go down to the mesh, (which they probably do) The hood is fucked, and it can't be repaired. If the cracks aren't deep enough to go into the mesh, they can be sanded out, then re-clearcoated. If you end up sanding intop the mesh, it tears it all up, and it's impossible to fix and not be noticable.
