Original 'glass is harder & harder to find these days. You should also state the nature of your damage on this thread (ie: cracks, chip, or breaking/broken in half) so that others in your area might know someone who specializes in that type of repair. I can also give you a few preventative pointers if it is cracking in half (mid way between the windshield and the grill) as I have seen this before, and it is not super rare. Keep your hood original if you can, or store it as it is valuable. Sorry I cannot help you out as I live on the East coast. Good luck! Edit: Corvette shops are a good place as they are used to Fiberglass. Welcome to the forums!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
