I have a Black Alero that I am constantly cleaning and waxing... My hood is so chipped and I don't want to waste the $$$$ and have it painted, so I was thinking of carbonfiber... I can't find it anywere, does anybody have suggestions on what I should do? Or where I can find it?

Since I doubt anyone will really answer that remark...don't get frickin carbon fiber, get something like lamin-x.

No he makes them still im almost positive. That was the point ppgnut he said instead of paying to repaint it, he will just buy a completely new one that is carbon fiber.

the cf is no longer made. if it would be, it would by per request basis, and most likely would have to arrage some sort pick up bcuz the shipping people couldnt figure out how to keep the hoods in one piece. also if the laminix that someone brought up is the clear protective vinyl...that actually works rather well at protecting the paint as i have it covering the front of my car...only downside is bugs stick to it more so than just paint.
