It died........just donate it to me....


Are the cracks under the carbon fiber? if they are then its dead.....if not, its the clear coat and you MIGHT get lucky sanding it down a bit then reclearing it......not sure tho.


If you want to sell it Ill buy it since alot of my hood is going to be vinyl anyway.

Not really, id prob buy it if he was gonna sell it since im gonna do something specific with it anyway.....but to be honest i really dont think it can be fixed unless you VERY lightly sand the clear coat down till its done then re-clear coat it.....


Id still be worried about blurriness after doing that.....and if you hit weave its all done.

If there are just some slight rock chips in it, I've heard of people using a very fine tip sharpie and lightly feather in the chip. Its worth a shot. Has to look better than before, heh.
