they can "reinforce" it... but the fact is that they'll be using bondo or some sort of filler to do so, then spraying over it. So, on the surface, it'll look nice and dandy, but then you know you have a crack in your carbon fiber fender repaired with putty=P. Ouch. Good luck dude.

I had a mishap with my CF front spoiler, damage was a little worse than yours. It was fixed, but had I opted to have it painted due to the weave in the CF being messed up.
