Carbon fiber hood long term
Hello everyone,
I know some of you have ordered the cf hood from stone carbon and wanted to ask if you had any long term reviews. I've heard the cf hoods (not necessarily stone carbon) has a tendency to turn yellow over time. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? Thanks so much.,

1. Refinish the hood to bring back the original cf look or
2. Paint the hood to match the car.
Ultimately I chose to paint the hood due to the repaired corner. It did take two attempts with the paint as there was not the right amount of hardener in the paint and I saw cracking at the nose due to flexing in the hood. As of right now, knock on wood, it was done correctly the second time and looks OE which I prefer.
All in all I would say do your homework on how to maintain a CF hood and you should be ok.
