It can be done, I just fixed my carbon fibre hood, but You'll have to paint it after.

fibre glass, and resin and bondo
i sold mine man coz it was cracked im sure a fibreglass guy or boat builder can clear resin over the ****ed bits so at leasts its smooth and stuff

i think you'll find mate that the only bits that are cracked are the resin anyway and prolly not the carbon composite itself
so they simply go over it again and again until its smooth.. like a clear coat then cut it and polish it

Is it fixable whilst still on the car ?
I have a similar issue with the exact same hood
Sorry if thats a dumb question but im no fiberglass expert

prolly would be but woulr require a lot more screwing around best taking it off as the whole process will take a few days. including the polishing etc
