was the carbon fiber used back in the 2004 a different tint as the one used now. the one i am looking at seems to have a touch of gold in . its in all the interior parts

As time goes on, it yellows. I believe it is the resin that changes color due to UV exposure.

The carbon fiber has a tendency to crack under heat, at least the original stuff. All of mine cracked, but was replaced under CPO warranty.

The replacement has held up fine. I suspect the original batch was not as well made as its replacement.

My 2001 996 GT3 Clubsport has many Carbon Fiber options ex. Factory. Also the Nomex seats are completely made of Carbon Fiber.
See M codes:
XMJ
XNR

See pictures.. After more than 20 years colour has probably slightly changed..

Holy crap.. a no-AC car with all that carbon. Any pics of those seatbacks? Thanks for sharing

Car is not only a no-AC car , but also no-Radio, No- board computer, No- door airbags GT3 Clubsport. And the whole interior in leather. All ex. factory....I will try to make pictures of the seatbacks later.... Not easy, that are not folding seats. Moving the same, built in by complete rollcage.....
