Default Carbon Fiber Question

I was wondering if CF Can be molded? I bought CF Eyebrows and one of them is not the right shape for the headlight, The end of it sticks up and even strop mounting tape does not work. Sorry I dont have any pics.

Cant bend CF, well you can but you will create tensions within the metal witch cause chiping of paint and metal during tempeture changes out side. I would suggest finding the correct molding for your headlights.

u could try applying some resin to the back side and some heat it might soften it up a bit...enough to where you could bend it a little...but too much resin could distort the finished side

I am not even going to worry about it, they did not look that good anyway.
