yeah cuz zig zigs in the carbon fiber weaves are alot easier to fix than just using alil elbow grease.

i did some research and found a link somone posted. its so much easier and cheaper than getting it recoated.

http://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php...&f=15&t=374768

if someone would like to share with me on how to direct a link that would be great. for example: if u click on "click me" it will take u somewhere.

wouldn't recoating the hood just make it shiny, but still leaves the yellow color that CF turns to in the sun ?

i would think so. but we're talking about the clear coat here. if ur carbon fiber is was once black but now yellow, just toss it in the trash.

Oxidization can turn the clear yellow, so that's not true.
