Yes I used, IM carbon fiber and west system epoxy. It is just a wet layup. I didn't bother to use duct tape or other mold release over other areas, my paint rather is ratty. I have 10 yards of some great triaxial stuff I am thinking of putting a layer of kevlar in and then the triaxial weave. I have about 3 hours in the project and would like to test before doing much else.

Good idea bonding it to the hood. There is a safety catch that should be activated manually from under the lip but could be controlled with an extension cable or rod though.
