So how was the car prepped? Did they not take the clear coat off down to the CF? I would think the CF would be damaged how they done the paint process correctly. just curious is all.

its like any car hommie. sand till smooth like a$$ then primer then paint then reclear lol. you dont sand down to the cf if you did your got issues besides if you make/wrap cf like i do then you would know there are many many coats of resin then clear on top of that

The best painted carbon fiber that I have every seen (pic) was one one a E46 M3. It was an E-Blue M3 , but you can see the carbon fiber weaves slightly under the paint.

Cant find a picture of it though. You guys should do something like that...
