that's fixable

start by repairing the break along the bottom. Go to Walmart or Autozone and buy the "3M Bumper Repair Kit". It's a 2 part epoxy syringe with mesh and a spreader.

-use masking tape on the FRONT of the crack to hold it in position
-masking tape with keep the 3M from leaking through to the front
-apply the mesh tape and 3M stuff to the BACK of the crack
-let dry

now crack is fixed. Post pics and we will move on to step two: fixing the resin

you can also fill the black part on the TOP of the cracked side with the 3m too. Shouldn't need the tape.

might as well grab some 180-320 grit sandpaper and a foam sanding block while you're at it. We will be using those later.

This thread is going to end up a sticky.

Also make sure the bondo you use isn't cheap crap, again ikt should be able to point you in the right direction for that as well.

bondo wont work, its not used for stress parts or anything with multiple compound curves.

you can glass it all back together with some high quality resin and woven fiberglass. do that from the back. once it is holding together, you can resin the front to even it out and paint over. sometimes the resin will bring the carbonfiber back to life just as if you were painting clear over a scratch in the paint.

If you happen to have access to a vacuum bagging system, you can glass the back and then re coat the front in resin, then set it in the vacuum bag, it would yield a decent repair most times

I'm taking pics of the whole process for future mishaps

[killemall]

Started by using masking tape to hold the bottom piece in place.


Bought two packs of these at auto zone costs about $7 per


Used the provided applicator to run epoxy along the entire crack. I applied one packet and let dry overnight. Next day applied the second packet to touch up any missed spots.
