how's your top!
 
How are your exposed carbon fiber roof's holding up overtime in the sun? Any yellowing?

Nope. And it was a Florida Vette before it became an Arizona Vette. It doesn't get any sunnier or hotter than that. 2018 Stingray Z51.

The carbon on my hood needed a new clear coat but the roof is in great shape.

I have a 14 with the exposed carbon fiber roof and it’s fine.

I Have a 2019 GS A8 2LT and outside of the damn Brooklyn pollen and the occasional pigeon after almost 4 years my carbon fiber top looks and polishes up great.

GM prevents ultraviolet light from degrading them a special additive costing over $60,000/gallon it is added at three-percent concentration in the thin clear-coat layer $2000/gallon No way aftermarket Carbon parts using that kind of clear protection.. most will get damaged from UV eventually.. not GM stuff though

Bodykit? 🤨 This was about carbon roofs and whether they were yellowing from
sun exposure--body kits had NOTHING yo do with this.
