all CF fades/yellows… i have a vorsteiner trunk… faded in some areas (due to a shit layup) the trick is to put a couple of layers of a UV stable clear coat over top… it slows down the yellowing dramatically ---

> [@jt76](#): > > yeahhhh boy! rice her out :tup: dont want to rice her out, I need to put that fat pig on a diet, the del sol VTEC is heavier then most civics of those years. And all the carbon fiber is going to be painted so I am not worried about the fading as much but the cracking. ---
