Can carbon fiber spoiler clear coat be fixed? And CSL CF Trunk Questions

pysical · 10-08-2018, 07:49 AM

I don't know much about carbon fiber but my car has a CF spoiler lip that has the clear coat peeling. I did some research and looks like it will cost about 200$ to get another one, or I can spend a little more and get a CSL CF Trunk. I am leaning towards the trunk more but that will be a convo with the wife.

1. Can the CF spoiler be saved?
2. If I got a CF trunk, how long does it usually last before it starts clear coat peeling?
3. Does anyone know if ECS has good fitment?

Thanks

1. If its peeling you need to get it re-clearcoated, as for the gel under the clear, if its yellow its yellow not much to do about that
2. Depending in where you get it from you should get a warranty on the clear, but yhe gelcoat will start seeing damage befote you’re able to tell the clearcoat is bad, I suggest clearcoating it before you put it on, even ceramic coating it after too
3. No idea about ECS tmbut MB had like 8/10 fitment in my car
