Default Where to reclear carbon fiber hood?

Hey guys, anyone gotten their CF piece(s) recleared at a shop before? Or knows of a place that can do a good job? Or has tips for me to do it myself? You're welcome to help me by the way.

My CF hood looks like it's white, smh.

Thanks!

I'm not sure of any place, personally, but I'm gonna check out Aiea Collision, since someone recommended them to me...

I got some replica Nismo V2 canards from someone on the forum. Apparently they're CF, but were painted over. Was gonna hit up Aiea Collision and see if they can get the CF to show again, and I'll install them like that.

Lol me calling my hood white was an exaggeration, a reclear should do the job. I'm thinking of having the shop cut some designs into the hood too..

Hmm..

Went to Aiea Collision yesterday (Thursday)... the canards should be done either today (Friday) or on Monday. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'll be picking up the canards tomorrow. they said they couldn't get the carbon to show properly... the canards were too badly pitted, to get all of the black paint off, so they painted them, but didn't use the correct color, so they're redoing it. will have pics up tomorrow after I get them back.

It didn't look bad, when they repainted it. Should have the correct color on sometime this afternoon.
