i have a 06 g35x and during the past couple of months i noticed my center dash alluminum piece is turning yellow. It's right above the ashtray, and including the top of the ashktray cover.

why is this happening? anyone else has this problem?

how could i fix it? can i buff it out?

 

do you use your cigarette lighter? the discoloration could be coming from the heat off the lighter

 

It's a reaction With the glue and the heat from the center console. You don't even need to use the cig lighter.

My 06 did it. I had the panels replaced under warraty less than a year ago. And guess what? It's doing it again with the new peices. My cig lighter has never been used ever.

 

Mine had it as well. It's currently wrapped with carbon vinyl overlay so I don't see it but mine did have it..

 

Idk, I think if you use the cig lighter it turns yellowish. I pushed it in once to see if it worked and it got a little yellow you cant tell unless you really look. So I took the cig lighter out and haven't used it since.

 

i do use my cig lighter a lot, since i smoke a lot while driving.

but this never happenned on my previous cars.

darn it, is just bothering me when i see it every morning.

 

Car ruiner

thats yellowish too...

 

Lol, nah if anything, that's the lighting in my room because it's a yellowish white that's hitting off of the aluminum. I assure you that my headunit is a crisp silver-aluminum color.

 

^ lol thats how yellow mine looks :X

 

I think this is more of an 06 thing. Everyone I see that has had it happen, has been driving an 06.

My car hasn't done it yet and im at 63k.

 

Cig lighter has nothing to do with it. Like i said before. My cig lighter has never been used, and my trim turned yellow. Had it replaced under warranty and it's turning yellow again. Still, cig lighter never used...don't even plug anything in there either.
