you need to re clear-coat the hood and the wing if they have that problem. The clear coat will fade over time, and needs to be maintained regularly to prevent this. Get the clear coat, and make sure you hand wax both pieces every so often to keep them lookin good.

if the cf underneath the clearcoat is destroyed now does not matter how much clear you put on it will come back. any paintshop can tell you that. take it to a painter and he will let you know

what if the past clear coat is pealling off. Would it be easier to get a dif carbon fiber hood that just has cracks. If i clear coated that would the cracks go away or will they still be there? thanks
