Is this fixable?
Just received my door panels and they were damaged in shipping. While I'm working with the shipping company, these are not something that can just be re-made and shipped. So I'm wondering if anyone has expertise in carbon fiber can let me know if these are fixable. Thanks.

Sorry to see that. Not much help. But one thing is they look pretty cool locking. I have been waiting to see if someone was going to paint or hydro dip the whole door. But this is a 1st.
Hope you can repair it. Sure is nice looking.

You could buff out those scratches if they aren't too deep, possibly fix the first picture by adding resin/blending... it'd be noticeable but you could salvage those. I'd try and save them....
Hit these guys up, heard good things (and they're local) http://www.rcfabrication.net/

No, I have a backup plan if they can't be fixed to just paint the damaged area but leave most of the panel still carbon fiber.

Hmmm
You sure that is real carbon fiber? From the way it broke, it almost looks like a carbon fiber decal under a clear coat. Carbon fiber doesn't chip and disintegrate that easy usually. Pretty strong stuff.
