yes you can repair it, but if the weave is broken then there will be a repair spot on the hood, you can just paint it then.
^yup what he said...you can repair it yes, but you will see a new piece of carbon where you fixed the crack.
if i repair it,
will it be noticiable ?
will i be able to tell that it be cracked...
and how can i repair it myself.. ?
be it cracked at 2 places,
one far from the hinge
and the other is where the scoop meet the hood
:S
or how much it gonna run for a expert to do it ?

no offense but you obviously dont know what your doing so i wouldnt make this the first thing to try it on. take it to a shop to get fixed
this is probably what im gonna do
bring it to a shop, but how much it could run....
because i dont want to spend too much money on a broken hood

depending how bad it is, i dunno. im assuming your gonna have them paint it too right? it may cost like 150 to fix and paint, possibly more. its all different from area to area
I almost bought a CF hood that was chipped away in 2 spots... the body shop quoted me $250 to regelcoat the hood
couldn't tell you if it was worth it or not cause $250 for damaged hood + shipping + another $250 for repair was more expensive then I could get a new one for
that what im afraid of...
but Darkstars, can you tell now that it was chipped before ?
do you have a picture close to it ?
and im wondering who could repair carbon fiber in quebec ?

Then, instead of trying to cheap out, buy a new one!
