Will these skirts need a protective clear coat, or do they come finished?

These panels arrive in raw carbon fiber. A clear coat is strongly recommended to protect the weave from UV exposure and maintain long-term appearance. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen automotive clear coat.

Do these bolt directly to the existing mounting points, or will I need new hardware?

Verify your vehicle's OEM rocker-to-door seam and existing side panel mounting hardware before installation. You may need fasteners or brackets depending on your current setup—reference your vehicle's service manual or consult factory documentation for the correct attachment points and torque specifications.

How much weight do carbon fiber skirts save over the factory panels?

Carbon fiber side skirts are significantly lighter than OEM plastic equivalents. The exact weight savings depends on panel thickness and construction, but the reduction is substantial enough to be noticeable in overall vehicle weight distribution and handling feel.
