Default Scraped lip

Hey there my friends, due to a stupid pothole, I scraped a lot of my bottom lip (on my Z06 w/Z07). Anyone else experience this and any suggestions for places I can go to get it fixed (in the Bay Area specifically)?

Thanks!

Easy fix would be sand down,filler,then vinyl

For replacement, any of our vendors can get you a CF painted splitter or get an OEM one. For repair, nobody does Corvettes as well as Abel Chevolet in Rio Vista.

Flash you can at least sand fill and repaint. Exposed doesn't stand a chance

Not sure it is fixable as the edge is probably delaminating with carbon fibers sticking out. The only way I could think of patching is to clean it, then use some clear fiberglass gel to cover the area that has been rubbed, let it dry and then gently sand down although sanding may make it look worse.
