Carbonfiber wing: need help/advice!!!

its pretty embarassing to drive around like that....hate to tell ya but i believe that an EVO should be in the cleanest condition possible, the body on an evo should be flawless!! because its an EVO, a car with high respect!...should have absolutely 0 scratches, dents, cracks, ect...TOP-OF-THE-LINE condition .... anyways, need some good suggestions/proffesional advices on how to fix this crack on the wing ...thanks!

Depending on how deep the crack is, you are going to have to sand it down, clean it up, and re-clear it. It can be kinda of difficult tho because you don't want to go too deep and mess up the CF.

It might be easier just to replace it.

it seems like it's too far gone to be fixed.
Unless you do not care if the CF weave is showing.
If you don't mind a solid color spoiler then sand it down, put some filler in there, sand it down so that it's VERY smooth, and then put filler-primer, sand it again, paint.
