cf hood help

i just bought a cf hood off my friend for reallly really cheap. the reason being is there is a crack in the hood in the middle in the carbon fiber. the only thing i can think of to fix it is to maybe get some of the carbon fiber vinyl and maybe put a patch on it hopin it wont be too obvious or maybe makin the crack flush and then re clear coat it? but then that gets into the problem of preppin a cf hood for paint, i doubt you can sand them can you? im wiiide open to ideas other than a big sticker.

flip it over drill to holes in it attach some rope to make a loop in the front the yellow nylon rope works real well.wax the front real nice maybe even spray some pam on it and
save that bitch for winter and use it as a sled

or fill with putty/tiger hair and paint it
