Carbon fiber doesnt dent. It just shatters. So chances are if you have a dent in carbon fiber, it's not really carbon fiber.

maybe he chipped it somehow. Either way C/F is hard to do cosmetic repairs on it because of the weave pattern and colors.

And just in case it has to be said again - C/F doesn't dent. EVER.
