I Cracked the clear on my TS hood this morning just by closing it, Now i have researched a lil on the whole Cracked CF parts Dilema. It cannot be fixed I took the car already to the body shop to have it sanded down then paited the color of the car. I would like Opinions on what parts of the hood I should paint and which should i leave CF....??? Pictures strongly suggested.

Opinions PLZ

 

how did you close your hood?

1) did you hold it about three feet in the air and let it drop?
~or~
2) did you put the hood down slowly into where it latches down then carefully push it closed?
(that's what your suppost to do)

 

I did the second one but since the latch had to be moved more down i have to press a tad harder and i used the palms of my hands. All I need is examples from people that have paited their TS Hood in an all solid color or leaving some CF exposed....

 

i love that hood, sorry to hear this happened but gl with fix

 

I say, don't expose any CF. Paint the whole thing. But if you're hell bent on leaving some CF exposed, expose the hood vents on either side. No more, no less.

 

that's a nice hood. you'll love it even more after its painted.

 

I would leave the vents unpainted...If u paint the rest and dont like it u can always paint the vents later.

 

Thanx guys for repling I will go ahead and post pics as soon as it's out of the shop.

 

How much is that hood (and the name if you remember)? i really like it. Please let me know. thanks

 

someone retard strengthed my hood and it cracked....and the guy who painted my hood forgot to sand it...fail.....but anyway. I had mine faded on the vents and towards the top of the hood, turned out nice.
