Default Is this CF eyelid still fixable?

Sorry if this is the wrong section to ask if it yes you can move it.

Now i have carbon fiber eyelids that came on the car but the clear coat looks cracked.

Possible to fix it yourself with some sanding or no?

Since it's just an appearance piece, just re-clear it.

Just throw it in the trash, no need to have sticky rice on your car.

Most rice is sticky. And the problem here could be the effect on the clear headlight lens from the eyelid adhesive.

Yea the easiest way to fix is to take them off and sell them to the nearest ricer. Then you can wonder why your headlights have spider cracks.

Trashing them is much better than selling them.

I don't even know who you are much less care. They have stickers and chrome vents at Pep boys to go with your cf eyelids. Good luck with that.

I could careless what you have to say since you have said it so many times. You keep trying give a opinion about something when your car is far from pretty. You should probably start over or go buy someone else's headache.

Did I say my car is pretty? It's functional and a daily driver without any stick on ricer crap that you love. Go back to your Pep boys, those stickers add more horsepower.

You better not say its pretty. Funny how your think agreeing with Terramask about the CF eyelids are rice. If he were to see your CF hood and hatch he would probably make fun of you. Functionality not so much. The ghastly 370 wheels yuck. All you have in your mouth is pep boys. Everyone here mods differently. If he wants eyelids then so be it. He thinks they're nice and ask if they could be repaired not what you think of them. All so you have the demon mod eye oooooohhhh how cool red lights on a orange Z with CF parts and silver wheels....must look hot!
