You're kidding right? A TS runs for $1k new... he could get about 300.00 for it.

The link I posted earlier in this thread has a TS lip for $800 new. My original thought was that I could ask $300 for the lip considering the scratches/CF getting closer to needing redone and see what kind of offers I get.

If top secret is that expensive and you can get 300$ for it then that is great. I was just looking at prices online and saw a new one for about 800$

You can't redo the carbon weave once it's cracked or split. What some people have done in the past is rewrap the part or if it wasn't cracked, just sand and clear coat which works well.

That is what I mean by "redo the carbon fiber". My carbon fiber isn't cracked, just has a sort of faded look to it. So what I guess I have meant to say is sand and re-clear it. When the lip is mounted on the bumper there are no issues with the way it looks other than the fact the carbon fiber has a hazy/yellowish look to it.

Just have it recleared... it won't look 100% but it'll look a lot better.
