Just wondering how heat resistant it is, meaning real carbon fiber or even like if you go through the process of wrapping yourself, like with the hardener and the cloth and all that stuff. Just curious.

the cf i've dealt with is not very heat resistant. i've had 3 carbon fiber engine covers from trd and they all turn yellow/brown after a while. i thought it was a unique defect but after a while i just put them on for show. could be bad quality cf being used by trd's third party? i dunno.
