My aftermarket front lip has a crack after scraping it and hitting different unintended obstacles found on the DC roads. It is still mounted solid, it just has an ugly crack. I was thinking to fill the crack with epoxy or resin, polish it and wrap it with something like 3M carbon wrap https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058DIDTY

has anyone done something like this? is there a better way to do it ?

sorry to hear about the crack on your spoiler. I don't see a problem with wrapping the spoilier with a carbon fiber vinyl wrap. just make sure it's not too thick or else you'll have problems around curves and the contours of the lip. here's what I did to prevent or help running into scratching or breaking my carbon fiber spoiler

ordered a PU splitter which comes in a plain black


than wrapped it with the Vivid Carbon Fiber 5d wrap

your car looks great, carbon wrap has come out really good.

Here are few pics of my car before front lip cracked (and I need to fix scratched up wheels)

told you before but damn I want that wing!!!!

i'd run a splitter under that spoiler

splitter may be coming in the near future, but installing cutouts is a priority now

Car looks nice! Can I ask where you bought your front lip from?

Hey bro, I wanted to chime and let you know that yes you can fill the crack with epoxy resin made for carbon fiber. You will need to remove the lip and secure it to something so its stays flat while you fill the crack with epoxy and then sand and polish it. 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
