Yes.

I confirm.

I have original Porsche carbon fiber interiors (which I've never seen before).

But I bought the car used, and it was hacked to steal the PCM system.

The carbon fiber was ruined by those good people , and I wanted to find a replacement, but even if a replacement existed, the fiber wouldn't be as yellowed as the one I have in my car, so option 2 is:

Repair the carbon fiber with resin that's already yellowed.

Do you think it's possible?

Option 3 (a long shot) try to find used CF parts?

You're absolutely right, but I'm afraid they're truly impossible to find.
I've been looking for a used car I like for months, and I must have looked at 200 or 300 listings.
None of the cars had carbon fiber interiors, and I'm afraid finding this part in a wrecked or scrapped car will be truly impossible.

I'll keep an eye on them, though.
Thanks for the advice!

I suspected you’d tried that. Just noticed that you are in Italy!

These parts are usually found on eBay in Germany or Lithuania. That's where all these scrapped cars end up, but for now, none. 🤷🏻
