Yesterday at the tire shop, the jacka$$ that was alignment wasn't paying attention and slammed my cf bumper into the metal stopper. the bumper seems okay, but the clear is cracked. i was wondering if anyone has had a something like this happen. will i be able to sand the clear to the cf and have it reshot with clear? thanks justin

 

mod, could you please move this to the "show and shine" area? thanks

 

the bumper can be fixed, but the tear in the carbon fiber can not.

sorry to hear about your misfortune.

man that sucks....post a pic and we could better help.

 

have the shop fix it or did they say it's your problem.

 

damn thats bunk...you can get it recleared...is it really bad? Hey sorry to be off topic but how are the 280s? I am debating them...what are you tuning them with?

i have a cf bumper too, and i think that it needs to be re-resined, not cleared, what you see cracking is the resin that they use for the cf, kinda like fiberglass, also if the cf ot torn, then you are fdged. you will need to repair it w/ fiberglass and then paint over it to hide the repair.

 

fiber isnt' torn, but about ten minutes ago i just hit the bottom of the bumper and screwed it up more. ill trying and get pics,

dave, i have the utec and i love my 280's.

 

hmm you can wetsand and buff the crack out possibly be you cant really sand do much because you can mess up the cf weave if you get to close. my suggestion is to paint the cf bumper and leave some stuff unpainted on it to peeps know its a cf bumper u know?

 

im going to swing by the body shop next week and see what they say. :P
