Default Carbon fiber lip repairable?

I wanted to know if a carbon fiber lip from seibon is repairable?

I wasn't sure if I should buy this lip from this guy.

Thanks

How bad is it? If it's just cracked I would say it's repairable, may not look 100% though.

It has a crack on the front right.

I was thinking..if it was repairable just to paint it to match the car.

What do you think?

It is repairable. Treat it just like fiberglass.

Getting it the original carbon fiber pattern is near impossible. Patching it up with some fiberglass and bondo is possible and and Ive seen it down.


This lip is carbon fiber...
