Does anyone know of someone that can do this? Take a look at the pictures I've attached to see what I'm talking about.

The splitter on this car is pretty bruised and all out cracked in one spot. Would like to get it repaired with the same weave as Saleen isn't shipping them at the moment.

Not a fan.

fair enough but thought i would try.

Judging by your pictures it looks like it cracked all the way through and not just the resin/gel coating. I dont believe that they can repair that. Good luck sir!

I think any structural repair would have to be made from the back side (if that's possible), then re-clear coat it for the aesthetic repair.
Unless you rewrap the whole thing with another layer of carbon. But it would be pretty challenging to get back to the original surface finish.
Good luck!

This is correct you can structurally repair front or back but not cosmetically. You could do a strong repair and paint it or wrap the whole thing. It may or may not have been clear coated with a paint you'd have to check with Saleen.:2cents:

Thats an easy fix. you need to talk to the folks who made it.
My Saleen splitter was split in half and they repaired it.
My contact was with Bryan: www.altautotech.com
