How do I fix this? Carbon Fiber Left in Georgia Weather. Now Fraying?

Carbon Fiber spoiler left in heat, humidity, rain, and other georgia weather aspects. Now it is fraying/coming undone. How do I fix this? I got this, along with aitracing.com's weilside replica front bumper, rear bumper, and side skirts, for $300. I got a great deal, right? considering:

Front bumper:270
Rear Bumper:270
side skirts:270
Spoiler: probably about 300 or more. considering its real carbon fiber.

That's common in fibreglass parts that aren't sealed properly...they absorb water and you get those little bubbles....

Just be glad you don't have it happening in a 100K + boat hull

You might be able to sand the bumps down carefully and clear coat it inside and out....
