Does this need clear coat protection after installation?

Yes. Real carbon fiber benefits from UV-protective clear coat to prevent yellowing and maintain the weave finish over time. Apply your chosen clear coat after final fitment and surface preparation.

How do I seal the edges where the vents meet the fender?

Sand the mounting surfaces and the fender contact points smooth before installation. Use automotive-grade adhesive or sealant rated for carbon fiber, and allow full cure time before driving. This prevents moisture from entering the panel edges.

Are these wet or dry carbon?

These are hand-laid real carbon fiber construction. Verify panel fit and alignment on your vehicle before final adhesive application, as each panel may require minor edge finishing to match your specific fender contours.
