      That looks as if it could be repaired. But one youd have to use a fiberglass filler instead of your standard putty. And second if it has a crack in it don't do it cause it wont have good strength to it. Also if your not doing the work is gonna cost ya a pretty penny to get that fixed and then u still gotta paint it.

        car is getting a complete repaint anyways (my hood is bad so i figure now is the best time to upgrade to a cowl or SS)

        it's 140 shipped but then i saw the pics and it looks pretty rough...

        i dont know much about repairing fiberglass so i thought i'd post it on up

        so it looks like a tough fix?

          Umm yeah that'd be a hard fix. With you not having any fiberglass experience I personaly wouldnt do it. You'd prolly be better off buying a new one.

                Fiberglass is so easy to work with.....I'd do it if I had a 4th gen and wanted a new hood.

                    actually you should be able to fix up pretty well - ive done some FG boat repairs that you wouldnt have thought could be done

                      Yeah...just make sure its not cracked. It can be fixed though. Just takes time just like anything else.

                            i was thinking about it

                            140 + materials for repair + alot of work + it might not even turn out right or worse go bad AFTER i get it painted + i dont want hood pins

                            or i can get a new one for ~400 and be lazy
