Default LF repair shop to fix CF parts "Tampa FL area"

I recently got my 350z from ChrisCJ99 on this forum and I have been buying used parts to save a buck here and there. I currently have a VIS Fusion CF hood, Mastergrade rear diffuser and Mastergrade side skirts. All have small cracks, spidercracks and haze. Where is a good local "Tampa" shop that has experiance in buffing out the clear koat and re UV clear koating for reasonable price? Thanks for the help.

It would probably be best to ask this in the regional forums, you may get more local traffic there.

Hate to say it, but there's a good chance you're going to spend more money fixing the parts than you would've just buying them new. Have you thought about just getting them painted?

If it was me, and I wanted to save a dime, I would try a DIY project of sanding off the current clear coat. Search around and you could probably get good recommendations on the process. Then all you would have to do is take them to a shop and get them clear coated. That should be pretty cheap.

If you can't find any good info on here, I'm sure you could just Google it. That should get you on the right track of the process. If you find the info and start your DIY, you should be able to tell relatively quickly if sanding off the clearcoat will fix it, cosmetically speaking, and if not you will know you will either have to sell them off or get them painted to hide the cosmetic defects.

Best of luck.
