Default Put on CF Now? Or wait until spring / roads are cleared?

okay, so I came back to my car the other night, and there was a HUGE dent in my hood pushing all the way down to the engine, and a bunch of bumps in the fenders. I've talked to the bodyshop, and they will replace the hood with a VIS racing CF hood and ofcourse fix the fenders.

Now, I live in Canada. This year we havn't had much of any snow, although I do like to goto the ski hill where there is still quite a lot. My worry is that if I put it on, it'll get wrecked from rock chips. But, other's have said not to worry, CF is strong enough? Suggestions?

Winter has been kind to my cf hood.

As long as it has a good gel coat, you'll probably be fine.
