This looks GREAT. Ive got a CF interior and all of my pieces look terrible with cracking, and yellowing.
Could you point me towards the epoxy resin you used? I want to give this a try. I was gearing up to replace everything with black plastic pieces from ebay, but Id much rather give this a go. If I fail, I just fall back to my ebay black trim idea. If I succeed, I'll share and be happy that I have a nice CF interior still

You can get resin from compositeenvisions.com, but I have been getting resin from a local shop. The stuff I am using is called SB-112. It is very clear and hardens in about 12 hours. It will turn yellow if not UV protected with clear coat.

And depending how much UV it's exposed to, it will still deteriorate in time. A clear coat is like sunscreen: it helps, but if you spend enough time in the sun, you'll still burn.
The only way to seriously protect CF from UV is paint. But that would somewhat defeat the purpose of the pieces in question here...

My interior CF trim had haged and the areas especially under the windshield at the dash, at the both side vents had been curled and lose adhesiveness. I love to hear the post owner for some advise how I can remedy the situation as I love my 6TT so much. Will post some pics when I hv a chance.
