Default cervini hood needs repair (new crack pics)

Hey guys, I just got my Cervini3" cowl hood from e-bay, it has a few miles on it and has a few cracks. Does anyone know the best fix for fiberglass cracks? I was thinking about mixing up a little resin and filling with that, but is this the proper way or do I need something different?

the best way to fix it is to take it to a body shop

The guy said it was 3" cobra R , dont know, didn't measure it, don't care, for the price I paid I would not be mad if it was a 2 3/4 ! haha How about the fibereglass cracks? any idea on that anyone?

Use fibreglass and bondo would be my first suggestion. Seeing the cracks would help though.

well, heres what I came up with. Looks like it may have come open unexpectedly- I'll be getting pins for sure. The biggest problem was over the pass side hole for the cowl opening, looks like it made contact with the wiper arm. Also one well nut was torn out for the hinge. Put new wellnut in and reinforced with resin and resined the crack in the cowl hole. there was some seperating cracks at the seams in the rear corners so I worked some resin in there as well. hopefully it holds when I take the clamps off!
