i hate fiberglass...

that looks like some bondo would work better. i have built sub boxes and other racks and mounts with fiberglass and bondo. looking at what you got there you'd probably need to sand the front edge, trim the fiber threads to clean it up then you can break out the bondo and smooth some on and mold it a bit. let dry then sand to shape and smoothness, clean then prep for paint. but again fiberglass and bondo suck.. but i have found that bondo CAN fix ALOT.. but its unfortunate because it does not look like you could just patch it easily yourself. it looks to require alot of paint and sanding. you might be able to get corners cut if a good paint guy can blend it instead of having to sand and repaint the whole hood..

on the other hand.. it could of been ALOT worse.. just cut from the fender straight forward and make your wheel wells even BIGGER!!! mold some custom flares and make it a baja buggie tubbed out h2..

it might be cheaper for the autobody guys to remove the hood and just strip the whole thing and fiberglass it and get it all perfect then just repaint. with the black it wont be that hard. hey you could even have them cut some custom hood louvers or make a custom cowl hood with all the fiberglass. maybe cut a hole and run a blower?? hope this all helps. best of luck.

(how did he NOT see a big black h2?)
