Imperfection in my CF hood getting worse. Ideas?

its as if this corner missed its last coat of epoxy. or what ever it is that they coat the carbon fiber in.
this imperfection was there in the beginning and the only reason i didnt do anything about it first is that it was hardly noticeable, and i figured it would fade together over time. 2 years later and summer is coming

that looks like a visracing brand hood by the weaves but i could be wrong. what brand is the hood? i had my cf hood for about 2 years now and the only thing i've noticed on mine was a few dimples from when the car gets to hot and the hood starts to sag at certain areas. but thats another story.

If you have the money $ I would recommend re-clear coating the cf hood. I did that with mine and put about 3 coats on it. My hood looks shiny as hell lol. I had ballz do the clearcoat and he does quality work.
