^ it's happened. VR_Alex had his yellow and after buying something like 5 or more Porsche's the company wouldn't do anything about it.

Superfly as well i think had his yellow.

The full carbon interior on my car is about 9 years old now, and I wouldn't say that the carbon is noticeably "yellow" however it certainly isn't as black as a fresh 997 in the showroom. In fact, I actually just purchased a very well made MACarbon storage lid and the difference in color is not that significant.

I think more than the yellowing, I'd be more concerned with any cracking of the OEM pieces, as they have a tendency to do so on the steering wheel and defroster vents. Thankfully my CF is still ok, but after speaking to John at MACarbon, he gave a very simple yet convincing explanation about why their products tend to hold up a little better than OEM (something to do with the clearcoating process??).

Either way, I love my OEM pieces, but its really comforting to know that if anything needs to be replaced, there's a couple of really knowledgeable guys at MACarbon to help me out.

I love MA carbon stuff. I've dealt with john a number of times and it gets better and better everytime. If you guys want to look at a side by side comparison, check out the link. You can clearly see the difference...
