Carbon fiber hood help!

I just bought my Evo not too long ago and it surprisingly came with a CF hood. Unfortunately, I found out the hard way something chipped the hood to the point there's a half dollar size of the clear coating on the hood is chipped off. Im beyond tired of it and it bugs me to see that on a car this good. Is there any way to fix this? Any help and advice is appreciated!

Ill more than likely give a call to a few of them since I have some down time tomorrow. About how much you think it'll run me?

depending on the brand...probably the price of a new hood. if it's painted, personally, i'd just buy a used stocker off somebody. might be cheaper, and the stocker is lighter anyway.
