What have you used as far as paint to prevent the carbon fiber from yellowing from sun exposure?

I'll have to check out the company's policy but they make CF car exterior pieces all day long for years...

ah its good to be back to the forums after a good year or so away lol.....6le might remember

anyways man answer to your question. regardless of what any carbon fiber company says they are putting on the stuff. take it to your local body shop and have them put 2-3 coats of a high quality clear on there. it will help prevent fading, yellowing etc etc far better then anything ive seen these companies put on..

They are in the process of being made now but are like the bumpers were... It will take us until January to get the first 10 and they are being sold NOW (at a discount for your patience for waiting) so if you want one order now...

If you wait to order until January you'll still have to wait 4-8 weeks to get it and won't get the first kid on the block discount we're offering on the first 10.

I've got a list but we're still under 10... Michael Meeks sent me GREAT pics I'm going too upload soon but his is dzeus fastened on as it is a race car.

I just finished a bunch of brackets I'm going to ship to all the original buyers as well that replaces the stock t-bar bracket (to look cleaner) and adds a little area at the front that holds it for safety...

Is the inside of the CF ones going to look as good as the outside? If so, I'd consider buying one and leaving the inside as is since I love the CF look. How many are left at the $750 price? Also, if I buy in, would I get a set of those brackets? Thanks
