Damaged carbon fiber hood

[Altimit]

I had the Carbon Creations hood and a friend of mine went off the road and it damaged the hood but not to bad I was wondering if they are repairable. I have some pictures but they are from a camera phone and not to great. Basicly one the front the clear coat is gone in about a golf ball size area and then around the front bents there are spider cracks in the clear coat. I got it replaced by my insurance company but was seeing if it could be repaired so I could sell it. Also how do I post the pictures?

[mikegtr06]

make a photobucket account... and follow the instructions on there.... you you could have the clear stripped and redone.... and sell it.... local would be best as shipping would suck.....

[Altimit]

How much do you think that would run to have it repaired?



This is the spider cracks I was talking about around the vents.

This is the majority of the damage and the deep gash in the clear coat.

[mikegtr06]

I don't know but you can send it to me and I will go get it fixed and keep it on my car....

I would try to sell it like that and get a shop to give you a repair estimate to see if it would be worth fixing or get it to someone like me who would paint it all but the inside the vents and then have the whole thing re cleared

Shipping to Germany would suck

[jaxCoupe08]

Yes its repair-able. Its going be like $100-$200 because they have to completely sand it almost to the carbon fabric then reclear.

If you want to sell it P.M. me, i'll get it fix right away.

Ya it would.... It was 200 euro to ship the Ed front bumper here... but i do want the hood if you want to sell it to me for cheap and i pay shipping....

werd but ide be cheaper bc im in the us

[crayzitalian3]

but i'd be even cheaper because i will drive down to you and give you the money in cash lol. how much are you willing to sell it?

[mikegtr06]

I called dibs but fine...

[Altimit]

I was thinking 250 and I split the shipping with the person who buys it. I already got a new one so Im defently selling it.

[crayzitalian3]

lol mike if you want it, it's yours, i was just kidding, i don't have the extra money to spend anyway

[dangeris]

Wow,..I was about to say crazy...you're gonna undercut a fellow alti brother...and one that is serving our beloved country so you can drive around in your alti safe and sound Glad to see you were just kidding bro..

Mike,..Just a thought..how much would that hood cost shipped to you from ED? Doing the math, he wants $250 and and assuming it'll cost 200 EURs to ship that's $286.46 so no you're up to $536.46 USD and that doesn't include the cost of repair... It's your money man but I think you'd be better off buying new from ED and having it shipped to you.

[mikegtr06]

ya im going to have to pass.... whenever i want to get something, something that i akready own has problems...... my comp tower just took a dump so now i have to use my iphone for everything

I never ended up selling this hood so its still available.

[crayzitalian3]

just saw your as on the for sale section. if i had the money, i would def buy it, but i got to worry about installing my front lip, side skirts, painting roof, installing roof spoiler, and fixing my 2 rims.

I want to get 250.

[gladiatorschool]

Can u take some pictures of the damage with a regular camera

[Altimit]

I have some I can email to you I just cant get on to photobucket at work so I cant upload them. Shoot me an email and I will send them to you.

[sickkwidit]

Here are the pictures of his CF hood guysI got his permission to put them here

[dangeris]

Fixing the spider cracks is more than just shooting clear on it. The top coat resin is cracked and to fix that you'll need to rebuild that area. There's a lot of work involved in repairing this.
