***carbon fiber hood latch repair*****

alright guys well this is whats going on, some dumb lady back up onto me and broke off the latch on my c/f hood. So now am trying to come up with some ideas on how i could fix it. i know that there are hood pins, but thats my last resort. so if yall have any suggestions let me know. heres a pic of my car when they hit me…

damn dude that sucks butttt it could be muchhhh worse.
i mean i cant really tell from just pics but it looks like all you’d need is a bumper- all the expensive stuff (headlights, hood) is still intact.

being that she backed into you im assuming shes liable- so just get the bumper fixed and maybe attach a stock hood latch to the CF hood?

yo

no problem! im a bodyman and painter u can just fiberglass it back on just make sure u put a bunch of layers on it. ive had 2 do that for my buddies car before. fiber glass is realy strong if done rite. i wouldnt put hood pins ur car is clean

well the thing is that she had no insurance so am having to pay for the fix myself.but as for attaching a stock hood latch to the cf, its a good idea but how???

how much would something like that cost though…

twenty bucks at most if u do it urself. all u need is the resin and hardner and fiber glass cloth. u can buy it in a kit for 10 or 20. u could get by with the small kit oh and sand the area ur fixing with some 80 grit sand paper first. its realy easy
