It will yellow very very fast because Carbon Creations doesnt use UV protectant resins on their carbon fiber.

I had yellowing and fogging happen with two different Carbon Creations hoods.

The thing I got with it says that it does have a UV protection coating on it.

I think what he is saying is he would recommend you get another coat of clear coat shot on it to protect it and keep it nice and waxed. Like I stated it DOES say it comes with a UV protectant. I need to get my bumper repainted and will probably get the lip shot with some clear coat at the same time. An extra coat of clear coat is never a bad idea on carbon fiber parts.
