My new hood i put on 4 years ago i clearcoated and its just as nice now the day i put it on...cheap resin is i would say one thing that makes a huge difference in quality. I dont use cheap resin. Mine has no yellow tint to it at all, like some. It even has some uv stuff in it. Then, i also add a couple coats of clear when i finish my stuff for added protection. I have stuff on my car now that i wrapped like 5 or 6 years ago and it still flawless. Basically, u get what u pay for...A little extra for me in materials = a nicer finish and longer lasting quality.
Thanks for your reply man. What I was referring to are the JDM hoods which turns yellow like top secret and Veilside, so was a bit surprising for me as well. Maybe the sun intensity is very high in our part of the world

Cant wait the list to fill

The headlights would be the only thing I think would possibly fade in time.

Porsche offers carbon fiber kits to its customers.....ranging from $2,000 to $9,000 for carbon fiber interior parts. This truly is a luxury modification and most exotic automobile enthusiast will admire the tasteful interior/wheel.

FYI: Look at a Ferrari Interior, even the Enzo's..
