Carbon Fiber Hood Cracked--help, pls

I have developed a spider web-like crack in the epoxy outer shell of my new cf hood, probably from a rock. Does anyone have a quick fix to prevent the crack from spreading?

You'll need some carbon fabric and some really good epoxy.

so is the carbon weave intact? if so you maybe able to do it yourself by sanding it down and applying the clear epoxy resin. For a quick fix clear nail polish may work temporarily, to decrease the amount of spidering.
