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.

What adhesive do you suggest to join there parts together?

I have used carbon fiber filler to fill the gap in bumper where I joined glass fiber parts to a plastic, and that worked well. I guess that it would be good in this case too. But I don't know what adhesive I should use.
