I'm pretty sure uv exposed cf changes color. I'm neighbor had a scion and it turned to a goldish color.

Bare Kevlar exposed to sunlight - cracks very fast!!
Carbon Fiber w/ resin instead of epoxy exposed to light - yellows, cracks, and fades
Carbon Fiber w/ Epoxy - resists fading, cracking, and yellowing alot more
9 times out of 10, a carbon fiber hood you see, especially on eBay, will have a layer or two of carbon fiber, and the bottom half uses fiberglass. The problem with that is fibre glass adds weight, and they use the resin for both the carbon fiber and fibergalss instead of the proper product which is epoxy. Resin costs a fraction of what epoxy does.
Also resin cracks alot easier then epoxy.

sounds like it's a Carbon/Fiberglass/Resin hood. None the less, if there's a clear coat, take it off, wet sand it, and have it recoated, or just have it painted. even better, is you can do the F40 paint job, have one thin coat applied so you can still see the Carbon fiber weave and yet hide the yellowing of the resin.
