How do you repair light scuff marks on a carbon fiber splitter

NoynuR · 03-02-2013, 03:15 PM

I just bottomed out a bit coming out of a shopping center and scuffed up my Gt5rs Vorsteiner bumper splitter. Does anyone know how to fix it or if vorstiener offers replacements?

Would really need to see it before a recommendation can be made.

If it scraped on the road, it most likely did enough damage that it will be very expensive to fix.

It can't be more than a new one.

I'd bet $150-$250 depending on the shop. I had to repair my "fangs" on the E86 a few times before selling it, it was no more than $250.

Depending on how bad it is... If you can't see the scrapes (they are under the car), just let it go, it's not worth the money. FWIW, my splitters have scrapes underneath the car. Can't see them, but when I asked how much to repair they said might as well replace. Not worth it if you can't even see it.
