Carbon Fiber Diffuser and Start Button
Two questions, first, does anyone with a carbon fiber diffuser notice any yellowing around the exhaust tips. I have been told that the clear will yellow due to the heat. That is with any brand.
Second, I have been unable to find a CF start button. MaCarbon has them but they are back ordered.

I've had my mode carbon diffuser for about a year, daily driven car. Still looks good, no signs of yellowing. IMHO, if you get a quality piece, it should last you a long while.

This may help find the vendor of the cf buttons.

I guess I will eventually find one. Or make one myself
. I am really interested if anyone has experience with yellowing of the CF around the exhaust on a diffuser.
Also anyone with positive/negative experience with the various CF vendors e.g. Mode Carbon, MaCarbon, Vorsteiner, JB Speed, OCarbon and the overseas stuff?

I have a MaCarbon start button and an OCarbon interior pieces (ash tray, ac surround, gear shifter surround and arm rest area).
MaCarbon start button is nice, but honestly its a bit pricey for what it is. Definetly spices up the interior and feels good though.
OCarbon, I was one of the first to submit my interior for CF finishing and it took a while to get everything perfect but it happened eventually. Pieces are high quality but for fitment I would give it an 8/10. Nothing that would VISUALLY give away a fitment issue but rather, running my hand along it you can feel it (who knows, maybe i re-installed wrong but I highly doubt thats the case since the part i feel is wrong is the gear shifter surround and that just clips in to place)
