    They can be plastic-welded back together. From personal experience I recommend contacting Ytry2 on here if you don't want to do it yourself, he did mine and you can't tell they were ever split.

    I didn't; I broke my fairing in two, gave it to TC (ytry2), and magically got it back like new.

    TC. Do you remember the crack in my fairing? I know I was talking about getting a new one, but is mine fixable?

    I guess I need to learn from someone. I plastic welded my tail back together but it looks like crap... they are good, solid welds though.

    If the weld is solid, then you did it right. Look's are all about how you finish it
