Will this diffuser scrape on driveways or steep inclines?

Diffuser clearance depends on your suspension setup and approach angle. Measure the factory rear bumper extension, then compare it to your driveway or ramp geometry before installation. If you run lowered suspension, test fitment on your most aggressive incline first.

Is this purely cosmetic or does it add downforce?

The Avera profile is styling-focused with functional proportions. Real downforce contribution at street speeds is minimal—this diffuser works best as a visual anchor for an aggressive rear stance. Track performance gains require higher speeds and proper undertray ducting.

Does carbon fiber require special maintenance?

The clear coat protects the weave from UV and minor contamination. Wash with mild soap and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads. If the clear coat gets scuffed, sand and reapply your preferred automotive clear coat to restore protection.
