damn that ****** is heavy. If you like the CF, keep it CF! If money isnt too tight, id put anotehr layer of clearcoat over it to make sure that thing doesnt turn yellow.

yeah 180 with glass, would prefer to paint it but i might switch to asuka hatch later so gonna save my money on paint until then heh.

Anyone install a grounding kit? Found all my old car stereo wires so gonna make one when i get some free time, most people say it doesnt do much but i guess since i have the parts doesnt hurt to add more grounds

hahahahaa you guys need to consider something... even if you have 700 lbs of clear coat on it its not going to stop it from turning yellow any sooner or less... thats what the clear on CF just does when its ready to start turning... if you dont want it yellowing on you you will need LESS clear coat... notice what asuka does... LESS is the new MORE their shyt is anti-yellow...

ummm no. carbon with little clear coat will yellow alot. I saw this ferrari F40 with the THINNEST layer of clearcoat and it was suuuuper yellow. You just need to have the clearcoat with UV protection. Without it, the resin gets damaged from the UV and turns yellow. Alot of companies who make cf stuff just have the layer of resin but no clear coat. The resin just LOOKS like clear coat when its all shiny and new.

i think it all depends on the quality of the clearcoat, ive seen a few cf companies that dont yellow and a few that do.

some of the best mods are the free mods, got my grounding cables installed, luckily i had enough black/silver cable so i didnt have to use red and was short 1 ring terminal but i had something else i could use. Didnt have anything that could cut 4 gauge cable so some of them a little on the long side. Money out of my pocket $0 time spent 30min-1hour.
