Are the stock hood blisters fiberglass? I hate to sound foolish, but I've never really thought about what material they're made out of!
If so, I'd like to hear advice about repairing them as well for future reference.

I should think that fiberglass filler should work well, the blisters aren't gonna be taking any unusal movements so it won't crack off. You probably could just use to putty for it if the chips aren't too big. I'm gonna have to do the same to mine, cause I'm making them funtional and I cut out the "holes" and I acciedently chipped the opening with the rotor I was using.
And yes nice cars to both of you
