Options for my Stained DG hood. Stock repainted vs CF?

Last tuesday as I was sitting on a red light right next to a construction site on my right, my car got drenched with some sort of chemical. It got all over the hood, some parts on the roof and a little bit on the side front fenders(both sides).

Long story short, I've tried everything to get that junk off my car. I've searched the forums and googled for options. I've used Tar and Bug, Claybar and a tiny bit of rubbing compound. It still didn't came off.

Today I went to a body and they said they'd have to wet sand the hood and fenders for $150 and still can't guarentee to get the stains out.

If that happens, they'd have to repaint the hood and they're gonna charge me somewhere around $200-$300.


So now, I figured buy a new CF hood or just repaint he hood?

I'm worried if I repainted the hood it will never be a perfect match with the rest of the car.

If I get the CF, I don't know if DG looks good with CF. got any pics? I only found one pic and it wasn't a good shot.


Any suggestions or comments?

btw my KurumaZ bumper should be coming in sometime next week.

If you going for the body kit look then go for the CF hood..If you want to keep it simple repaint...Most places can color match pretty well...

yeah I already ordered a KurumaZ bumper the day before my hood got splattered with this nasty stuff. Next time I'll know not to be near to road constructions.

My fender got some spots I can't remove as well.

CF will look good on DG?

how are they liable if he was parking near it and the wind took control? They would have to have a sign and fence a perimeter around it off.

Try claying the spot first.

CF definitely don't look good unless you are painting it.
