Fixing CF lip

[fastrack]

i was driving along last night and hit something on the road, not sure what it was but i knew right away my front lip would be damaged It's not that bad, small crack, maybe a inch long. Anybody know if that can be fixed?

It is possible. I would need to see a pic though... I fixed carbon back before i sanded it all down tothe carbon the filled it back with resin sanded for smoothness and clear coated the entire lip again so it is possible but if it cracked and the weave is exposed once you fix it, the damage to the weave might still show

ic, i'll try to get a pic later on, i'm gonna stop at my body shop to see what the think

It's actually pretty easy, but you may have a permanent mark. Regular fiberglass kit can do it.

The mark should only be there if the weave was torn. If not it should fix like it never happened

Agreed. If its a scuff its usually fine. If its a crack, the shattered part usually leaves a mark, but the clear makes it hard to notice.

if u jus cracked the clear ur ok,cuz they would jus need to re clear it, if u cracked the carbon, the bodyshop can sand down to carbon exposed and use a filler that is black in colour to fill the crack an then re clear.

Sucks to hear that, BC roads are covered in crap. Just got whacked by a decent size rock into my windshield yesterday. Odd thing was there wasn't anyone in front.
