Do these fenders come with clear coat?

No — these arrive as bare carbon fiber. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen clear coat finish to protect the weave and prevent UV yellowing over time.

Will the carbon fiber yellow without UV protection?

Yes. Unprotected carbon can fade or discolor when exposed to direct sunlight. A quality clear coat applied during installation acts as your primary UV barrier and keeps the twill weave looking fresh.

Should I seal the edges where the fenders meet the body?

Yes. After installation, seal the perimeter with a compatible trim seal or weatherstrip to prevent moisture from entering the gaps and keep the edges protected from road spray and debris.
