my carbon fiber hood is crackin really bad cause i fucked up on installing hood pins. now i wanna remove the pins. is there anything i can buy to fill up the holes and cracks? if i do that, i plan to paint the whole hood the same color as my car...no bondo though, i heard that **** doesnt hold up too well

 

You will have to use some form of body filler (i.e. bondo) to fill the holes for the hood pins. Just tell a bodyshop that you need it painted, that should take care of any problems with the clearcoat cracking.

 

We've repaired broken lips before. Just use fiberglass resin to bond the broken/cracked piece together, then apply lots of clear to the front side. After it adheres and dries, then polish/buff the clear and it'll look almost just a good as it did when you first got it with maybe the weave looking a lil off (depending on how well you use the resin in the first place with the CF weave).

 

whats the fiberglass resin?

you can buy it. Not sure where you'd go in your area. I usually just go to TAP Plastics locally out here.
