Does this carbon fiber require a clear coat for UV protection?

Real carbon fiber benefits from a clear coat to preserve the weave finish and prevent UV yellowing over time. We recommend applying a quality automotive clear coat after installation and before exposing the panels to direct sunlight for extended periods.

How should I prepare and seal the edges where the over fenders meet the original body?

Sand the mounting surfaces lightly before bolting down to ensure a solid fit. Once installed, seal any gaps between the over fender and original panel with automotive-grade trim sealant or caulk to keep moisture and debris out. This step keeps your install looking clean and protects the underlying surfaces.

Is this wet or dry carbon fiber?

These are hand-laid real carbon fiber panels—not wraps or prints. The construction delivers the authentic weave texture and durability you're paying for, plus the weight savings that make carbon worth the investment.
