If this is the wrong forum, please move!

Details please -- how fast, what you hit, what brand of hood, the aftermath (damage)

I've seen three CF hoods of cars after accidents. Typically what happens is the weave seperates from the skeleton (frame) of the hood. But sustain the damage well enough. There is no crinkle effect.

Names of hoods were a no name generic, unknown and VIS. But the results all seem the same.

I was in a wreck with my c/f hood and it bent. I hope this link works. This "was" a TC spoilers hood.
