im looking at two different hoods for my 05 gt daily driver. If I go fiberglass it’s going to cost the same after I paint it as a carbon fiber hood would be without paint. My car is High performance white so I think the carbon fiber look would be good but I know you can’t repair carbon fiber so I’m torn between the two. Any suggestions and or info on carbon fiber hoods vs fiberglass? Thanks

I have a carbon fiber hood and I love it-so my vote is carbon fiber

I have carbon fiber that's partially painted (sides). If ever damaged, one option would be to repair and repaint the entire hood and still maintain the benefit of a lighter/stronger material. If you choose C/F, make sure it is clear coated with UV clear or it will get trashed in the sun.

Do you have more pics? That looks nice.
