I just received my carbon fiber center wing from chrisc and there is a haze on most parts of the wing...especially on the edges...I tried waxing it but that doesnt get rid of it...Its almost like Im gonna have to go at it with some polishing compound or wetsanding...because right now it wont look good on the car...Did anyone else have this problem...Someone please help...do I take it to a body shop or do I try to do it myself?...Thanks Rob

mt center piece is the same.
i have no clue what to do, but im thinking of finding a place that can make a replica of the replica(center only) and remake it...prob be like $100, i hope, in best case they can just put another layer on

you dont have to sand all the way down to the carbon fiber, wet sanding should be enough.
