Does this come with clear coat protection?

The panel comes with a factory finish. A clear coat is recommended to protect against UV exposure and maintain gloss over time. Apply your preferred automotive clear coat following standard prep procedures for carbon fiber.

How do I seal the edges to prevent fraying?

Sand and prep all edges before final installation. Edges can be sealed with clear coat or automotive-grade epoxy to prevent fiber exposure and maintain a clean appearance. Refer to your preferred finish product's application guide for best results.

Will this yellow over time without UV protection?

Carbon fiber can yellow when exposed to direct sunlight without protective coating. A quality clear coat applied during install will significantly extend the panel's appearance. Parking in shade and periodic maintenance of the clear coat finish helps preserve the original look long-term.
