Cracking is not good when it flys threw a window. There is a reason old timers call carbon hoods decapitators. Aluminum bends and holds together for the most part, the coating not the carbon sheets themselves frags and seperates. Dry carbon a safer choice, wet carbon, no so much. To be honest IIRC I have yet to see a factory made car that runs carbon fiber, use wet carbon in any impact areas. Always been dry from what I have seen. I definetly can be wrong through. Not something I ever cared to try to pay attention to.
