Can I repair my splitter by getting a new clear coat? The carbon fiber does not look damaged but the clear coat is cracked.

You can try touching it up with clear finger nail polish for the moment. You don't want any water getting down in to the cracks where it will get trapped in the carbon fiber weave. Later when you clear coat it will easily sand off.

would it be worth getting a new clear coat or should i buy a new splitter?

The cracking is actually in the gel coat, but with a little work and a new coat of clear the damage probably wouldn't even be noticeable. I'd jut fix this one and buy a new one when something more catastrophic happens. Especially if you AutoX it at all...

FWIW, I put a strip of black plastic door edge trim from AutoZone on the leading edge of my Forcedfed splitter. It looks like the splitter was made with that strip. I think it will offer some scuff protection. The "C" shaped trim has a heat sensitive adhesive in the center. I used a heat gun to set the adhesive after I installed it.

The only possible problem I see is that the strip might pop off if I scuff it in reverse.

what about buying and applying resin. After it hardens it should be good as new, yeah? I have a part cracked just like that, but worse. Still only the clearcoat though.

3M DP 100

Get 3M DP100... it comes in clear. Works great... apply thin coat it sets in 5 mins. Wet sand... let it dry apply again... dry. It's awesome.
You will need the gun to apply.
