Hood is a mess: respray or carbon fiber?

Howdy, soon to be 2016 owner. Good shape except the front hood... it's really chipped noticeably. If I get a respray, that's money, then PPI to keep it that way but it's a 2016 (Recaros Roof) with 90 k miles, so I'm thinking a CF hood, being pretty hard to take any chips may be the best way?

What do you guys think?

Thanks

I would go for the respray. Then have it protected with 3M. My hood is completely undamaged after 11 years of being covered! Worth every penny and guaranteed for 10 yrs.

Things may have changed in the last few years, but my recollection is that most CF hoods do not ship with a clear coat, and as such you'll need to pay for a new hood and to get it clear coated. As a result the respray is going to be the less expensive option by far.
