You need to use many different grits of sand paper probably starting off with 400grit and moving up to 3000grit, tape off the area around the crack so your not creating more scratches than you need too. Sand with light pressure and constantly check your sanding so you don't sand off too much. once you get the crack sanded and smoothed out you can use a 3m headight lens restoration kit to polish it up. There a few YouTube videos on carbon fiber crack repair to help you get a better understanding of how this is done. Ive done it many times and it's worth trying before buying a new lip.

Good luck
Thank you so much!!! This is the info I was looking for
