Is this possibel to repair? Hood damage

Greyhound decided to beat the hell out of the package I was receiving. They managed to break the corner off the Mazdaspeed Replica hood I got. It's a Fiberglass hood. I was basically wondering if this will be repairable.

**EDIT** I don't have the broken off corner. They had shredded the packaging so badly that the corner must have feel out, similiar to how they lost the hood pins and mounting screws

If you can get your hads on some good resin and FG, it can be repaired. After the FG work, you'll need to shape it with a dremmel or similar tool. The easiest place to get the materials you need is from a marine supply store (they carry FG stuff for boat repairs and such). It should only take a few hours. (not including painting)

Actually it's just a good reason not to ship stuff Greyhound. This is the 2nd item I have had shipped by them that came with almost 1/2 the packaging torn off. I don't see why I should have to buy a CF good just because the shipping company is reckless. They will pay for these repairs one way or another... Here's a bit more...

If they will pay to repair, just take it to a body shop and let them do it.
