That leaded me to learn carbon fiber repair. I made a mold from the OEM hood and fabricated the missing part from scratch.




The end result was pretty good. You can't tell it was repaired unless you look up close.


And here's the unveiling:





The original carbon finish was very opaque. Did the clear coating with 2k spray cans and saved the $600 I was quoted, which means more car parts . Lots of wet sanding and buffing was required.
This build is so slick! I'm envious. Wish I could add some more HKS goodies to my car
