depending on the uv protection used by the original mfg.. and how much sun exposure you give the car.

if u get parts of questionable origin, or u don't know if there is a UV clear coat. you might as well spend an extra few bux and have a local body shop do a clear coat over it to protect it and 'seal' it to prevent any yellowing.

normally it doesnt really yellow. its more like a cloudy haze...

Mastergrade guarantees their parts won't fade.
