It all really depends on how badly it's damaged. If the fabric is torn or damaged. Chances are you won't be able to fix it to look perfectly the same. If the resin is just cracked, then you might be able to sand some it out carefully and lay resin in there. And then sand and buff, clear it. If you have pictures I might be able to help you tell you how to fix it. Worst case scenario, you can just repair it with fiberglass and then paint the whole thing.

Fiberglass resin can be used to fix the cracks. Fiberglass mat can be used on the inside of the cracks to reinforce the patch job. Make sure to thoroughly clean and scuff the surfaces you plan to bond.

fiberglass resin and there's plenty of epoxy stuff out there. you'll have to paint it, so it wont have the CF look, but you'll still have the lip.
