Default Repaint or CF WRAP? on side skirts

Today my 3 month year old great dane chewed up my side skirt.... I have 2 options. Getting it repainted. or Using a carbon fiber wrap on the side skirts. give me your opinion on this...

If i do just get it repainted what sort of carbon fiber skirts do you recommend?

I do not have a picture right now ive had a busy day today, but give me your opinion i will upload a picture later.

If the dog has chewed the side skirt and actually removed material, a wrap will not work. A wrap will contour to the damage unless it is sanded and repaired first.

Thus, you're stuck working with a body shop either way if you paint it or wrap it.

Thanks Tobster, do you have a body shop guy that you could go to that you trust? If so, let him tell you whether or not which would be Best. I have a Body guy that does pretty much anything & everything on all my cars & i Definitely Value his Opinion when it comes to something like this. Let us know what you decide.

oh yea, he said he would be able to blend it fairly easy, said the shading wouldnt be a problem. But he said it would look sick if you wrapped it. So i wanted to know what the Rc F community thought.
