Carbon fiber gauge hood

My concern with a lot of the CF interior parts is fit, finish, and how all the little things attach to it. That's the kicker. A lot of it looks good outside the car but is a disaster to install.
I would also be concerned about the resin they used on the CF yellowing with age/UV.

As far as UV thats a very valid concern, but I painted mine with interior black paint that matches as close as I could find with the rest of the car so I can't speak to that.
Perhaps I will pre-reinforce the posts as has been suggested.
I think I mentioned it before but I know I saw a thread on here a while ago where someone used strong neodymium magnets to attach the hood instead of the spring clips. I think that might offer a more elegant solution thats less likely to cause any breakage when removing later on. Its on my list of things to look into next time I have to remove my gauge hood for something.
