Will this lip reduce my ground clearance or scrape at driveways?

Is carbon fiber rigid or does it flex?

What prep and care does carbon fiber need?

The clear coat finish is factory-applied and requires no additional sealing. Wash with standard automotive soap; avoid harsh chemicals and pressure washers on the seams. The clear coat protects against UV fade and keeps the weave visible long-term.
