this is true…but for the cost of CF…i can get a new hood and have it painted for less than CF hood and it will last long enough until i buy a new car in a couple years

yea, buy a new hood. especially if its in between where one piece folds onto another piece.

BUT. if you are the original owner take it to the dealership and whine a bunch. I used to do a lot of warranty rust repair/replacement at John Holtz. If they agree to it make sure they blend the fenders too because it will never match being silver.

I don’t get it Howie, it was a good and logical question. If a rock hit your windshield you’d use your insurance. If a rock hits your car… logically it might be the same, no? I figured I’d ask since I haven’t ever had to use my comprehensive for anything in my entire life.
