My carbon fiber hood has some hazing on it and it looks very dull. does anyone know of a shop that would reclear coat it and make it just as new again? iv called a few places and they said they dont know how to work wit carbon fiber. and some places are charging me well over $200 to do it. So anyone know a place that does good work at a good price?

I keep my car in the garage most of the time, but there are those times when im at work and i cant cover it.

You just need to have it sanded and clear coated, wont cost you much. I used to re-clear the cf hoods out there for around 100-150 depending on the damage, hope that helps.

Yeah I contacted randode earlier today if he knew any shops I can get it done at and he refered me to his friends shop, and he's doing it for $100. So that's probebly the best I found so far. Maaco tried to charge me $270 n that's wayyyyyy to much. Gona get it done next thursday.

Thanks again randall for directing me to a place.
