Will these affect ground clearance or jack point access?

Side skirts sit flush to the rocker and do not alter suspension geometry or ground clearance. Before installation, verify your OEM jack point locations match the skirt panel edges — most installs require no modification to existing lift points.

Do I need to paint these, or can I keep the carbon weave visible?

Real carbon fiber can be left raw with a UV-protective clear coat applied for durability and gloss, or painted to match your body color. Either route requires sanding and surface prep before any finish is applied. Most builders prefer clear coat to preserve the authentic weave detail.

Are these bolted on or adhesive-mounted?

Carbon fiber side skirts typically use a combination of fasteners and adhesive for a clean install with no visible hardware. Confirm mounting points on your vehicle's existing rocker clips and plan surface preparation accordingly — a clean, dry rocker surface is essential for both methods.
