Crack'd my cf hood
I would never buy those hoods for that reason. For an everyday carbon fiber is the look but they are made so thin that they break, crack, spiderweb. I have seen two people crash with cf hoods with hood pins the hood cracked around the pins and flew up on the highway

i guess i should be glad its just the clear coat thats cracked and not the structure tho.
i really like the whole cf hood look, but i might have to jus get it painted, cuz i didn't real get the hood because its lighter which i might add it didn't feel that much lighter than stock, but anyways im still deciding what to do.

Was it just the resin that cracked or the actual fibers? If it was just the resin someone skiled with CF work should be able to do a pretty good repair. I would go that route, have it reinforced on the bottom, and then have it painted so it shows some CF but not all.
