Carbon Fiber hood cut out?
I really like the custom cut out of Watone's hood, but I have a CF hood planned for the car, so would a normal body shop be able to just cut the CF without it cracking or does this have to be done with laser...or can it be done at all?

A good body shop SHOULD be able to do it but CF is hard to work with -- when you cut it, it cracks so they have to be very gentle doing it.
Make sure you have seen their work and know that they are up to the job

I have cut my CF diffuser before and it didn't crack with a dremel. It was a pain, but cut without too much hassle. I'm not sure how you would re-finish the ends though, I guess with a coat of clear maybe. BTW, I think that is Whyatt's car (sp?), not wantone's.
