I don't think you can assume that this color-matched material will discolor with age in the same way that the original material did.

  Yeah, especially since this plastic here is PLA and not ABS, and also the yellowing apparently comes from the brominated flame retardant added to it.

    A lot of the yellowing of vintage 1980s era Macs comes from their spending their early life installed in smoking-allowed workplaces.

      That's okay though; in that case it can just be cleaned off. Better, the residue probably protects it from UV damage, so the plastic underneath is probably not in terrible shape.
