    The lights are the same physical units, however the F430 has chrome bezels, the Scuderia grey, and the 16M a very dark grey.

    Does the CF off gas into the plastic?

    not sure i didn't look that closely...i chalked it up to the extra dark color of the CF attracting more sun

    There have been a few theories floated but I don't think anyone knows for sure. Similarly, there have a been a few "cleaning" techniques floated, but it seems that in the long term, only cracking them open and refinishing really works as a "once and done." YMMV.

    What a pain though. Going to crack mine open to swap in the CF stuff so let's roll the dice.
