Carbon fiber can withstand a TON of heat.....I'd say you're pretty much stuck with it. Next time go to something that isn't APC man....

most of APC products do not fit right..........you ever seen altezzas in a 92-95 hatch the right outter piece sticks out so far......APC just wants to hurry up and mass produce a product so they can sell more and faster...but they dont take the time to actually R&D the products they sell.
