he's local and i'm currently going to school for auto paint and body. does any one know if i could get the dents out?

 

link a pic not a forum

 

homie... teh forum has the info on it. but just to make you happy along with your lazy right pointer...

 

alright "homie" im sure the forum has info on it. but i aint gonna join a forum just to look at two pics.

 

man i was kidding! srry... sooo.... would you get it if you were in school for auto paint and body?

 

I am no expert at CF but I would imagine that it would be very hard to get dents out.

 

I don't know much about carbon fiber but I know you cant use horse hair or bondo on it.

 

just buy a knew one

 

umm i wasn't really looking for a cf hood right now but it was in the plans for teh futorz... just was going to see if this one was worth it since my instructor could help me out with it.

 

oh... well you left that part out before... yea, i think it looks good, and if you have someone that knows how to fix that (if you can ) than go for it

 

how much?...

 

When you say, "...fix this..." I'm assuming you're referring to the waves in the carbon fiber. Well, they're not dents, they're waves; they're created when laying the carbon fiber (or vacuum bagging it) and it just dries wavey. That or the surface\clear\resin\etc. is wavey due to poor sanding and buffing habits. From what I can tell, the hood is a knock off, as knock off's generally come very wavey and are just crap. When you look at the car, check under the hood and see if it's double sided carbon fiber, NOT carbon fiber layed over fiberglass. Anyhow, if you decide to buy it, the best solution (imo) would be to sand it with 1000 grit on a block sander, move up to 1500, move up to 2000, then buff. If it comes out wavey, or you just feel like painting it, you can fill the dents\prime and block sand it flat. It's entirely up to you, but that's my $0.02 =D. G'luck!
