Re: 2G carbon addiction started...

Easy fix for that is sand off the gell coat and put real clear coat on it all and it will not have a problem

Referring to Shane or how to fix the lexan?

I already have noticed the differences in carbon clear coats between the fenders and the hood and my obviously dipped trim. I think the hatch will be spaced enough but the wheels need a good paint job.

I don't know. Just peeling and faded/dull/color changing. I see a lot of cars on the dyno with carbon fiber parts on them that are a few years ago and most look like crap. Maybe do what TKR said, if you want the CF look. I prefer painted, but that can cost a decent amount of money to get it right.
