Default carbin fiber crap

I got a carbon fiber hood about a month ago. I payed 450 for it new. now the hood is turing dull in spots and the resin is cracking by the hinges. does anybody know how to repair that. if at all even posable. also what is the best grade of carbin fiber and does anybody know any web site to buy cheap but good quality hoods.

thanks

www.visracing.com and just wax it with some ultra gloss wax, otherwise you will have to re clear coat it.

You can always get it re-clear coated.

Take it to a Paint shop and have them spray some high quality clear on it. I had my paint guy do my wing and it made all the difference.
