How to Fix CF?
I have a cf trunk and since last december 1st when I got it. I have had 3 little cracks on the left hand side of the 3rd brake light ( I didnt send it back cuz it took over a month in the first place to get from gravana) well anywho. Now that im sick of looking at those cracks is there any way to fix the gel type coat on it? LIke if i sanded the whole thing down and clearcoat it. would that help?
Also for other people w/ the CF trunk. Do you tend to have a lot of air bubbles in it on the edge along the bottom of the rear glass? This thing is becoming sketchy on me and it has even been a year yet. i knwo its for show mostly but still. i think it shoould be made w/ a little better quality.

i would get ahold of the guys at gravana...for the price of those thing they should be a bit better then that, it may take awhile to get it but to me it would be worth it
p.s. i want one of those in the worst way...there just so sexy

My trunk and hood, has some bubbles, and minor flaws, but all cf does, you would have to clear coat it again and apoxi it. I just deal with it, and take good care of it.

Carbon problems
the reason for the air bubbles is cause the stuff you guys are buying is wet lay up stuff, It should be vacum bagged and it would get rid of the bubbles ect. If it was ore preg material you would have no imperfections unless it was a second.
