Default Is there any reason to save a busted CF hood??

sooo i got into a little accident and my CF hood is now bent. is there any way i can have someone turn it into something else? like maybe something on my dash. there is a good section that is still flat. has anybody ever made anything out of a hood? and if so what? ps i have an integra if that matters. if not ill just throw it away.
(dont feel bad for my car though, a jdm front end is being installed right now)

You can cut pieces out of it to make block off plates, gauge holders, switch panels, etc. I wouldn't throw it away.
