thanks everyone for the advice.

does anyone know how much is a good price to pay for a body shop to sand it down and add a clear coat on it? most body shops i know of don't really specialize in carbon fiber. do you think most shops would be able to handle that?

and it's probably cheaper to go the wet sand and clear coating route than removing the carbon fiber and going back to OEM roof because then i would have to get the roof re-painted because of all the glue and whatever is stuck between the roof and carbon fiber layer.
