    Local CF hood would probably cost you P10K to P14K depending on the maker.

    Downside with CF hoods, any accident that cracks it, you'll have to replace the entire thing.

    Poor quality made CF panels can de-laminate or have the internal layers separate.

    CF panels have a tendency to turn yellowish when exposed to the sun for long periods of time.

    It's always pros/cons.

    The main benefit of a CF hood is its light weight.

    The main problem with a CF hoof is its easy to damage and expensive to fix.

    Well, I have my cars done at GOODYEAR/CAR-MOVERS located at 53 Santolan Rd (aka Boni Serano), Cubao QC... (727-7143)

    I am pretty satisfied with their quality of work.

    Generally they charge P3K per panel for repainting. Not sure how much it would cost for you since you did mention of some dents.
