Default Fiberglass/Paint Repair

Hello! Not sure if you guys can help, but worth a try! Looking to purchase an early build Backdraft Cobra Roadster (in otherwise great condition) that has a noticeable spiderweb/ impact area about the size of a half-dollar coin on the upper portion of the driver's door. Not terrible, but something I'd like to have fixed prior to purchase.

I've found that shops are few and far between that offer specialized fiberglass repair. The hard part is assurance of color match to the rest of the car.
Do I:
A) Live with it - put a decal on it and move on.
B) Repair it and take the chance of mismatch.
C) Buy another door and have them prep/paint to match car (if replacement door is available). Worse case, just go back to the original.

This process can go anywhere from $20-$2000, and is holding up the deal until we come to an agreement. Thoughts?


Thanks, JC
