Trying to mold my new carbon flares into the body of my car.  I have heard that bonding these together might cause the carbon to crack when the car is adjusting to temperature changes like washing the car with cold water on a hot day.  Would you guys have any recommendations for an adhesive to use to bond the two materials?  Was planning on using 3m 08115 then short strand fiberglass around the seam to add a little more structure.

I would look at a structural adhesive such as our ET515 Semi Flexible 15min Professional Epoxy Adhesive as it has a high flexural strength meaning it is less likely to crack under shock or vibration.
