Default Carbon Fiber and the Weather

My friend has had his carbon fiber hood on for almost a year and looks like the day he bought it. We also live in NY so the weather can be real fuked up here. You should be fine.

if gel coated it can handle any weather like most boats, since they have the same surfaces

you will be fine up there. the only thing that it have heard that can mess a cf hood up is sun if its parked in the sun alot. but keep it polished and clean and it should last you a long time

I got a Carbon Fiber hood and it's fine through rain, sleet, and snow. ad in case you didn't know it's a lot stronger material than most other parts on your car
