Listmates,

I have installed some carbon fiber parts on my 996 cab. How do i keep them from turning yellow- other than keeping the car in the garage, i mean.

The jury is out as to what is causing the yellowing, heat/sunlight/UV, or some combination.

I have coated my CF trim with a car wax that claims UV protection-there are many out there- with no discoloration in over two years. Even with my success, this was a SWAG on my part-no evidence to support my theory.

Not a lot you can do about heat.

I have seen a thread about a Carrera GT that had yellowing on the CF that you'd think would never be exposed to much light (lower door trim), and it was turning very yellow. Looked like it was water stained, it was so bad.

Regards,

BD
