Do I need to apply clear coat to protect the carbon fiber?

Recommended. Carbon fiber benefits from clear coat protection against UV exposure and environmental contamination. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish to ensure proper adhesion and long-term durability.

Will edges require sealing once installed?

Yes. After mounting, seal the leading and trailing edges with edge tape or epoxy to prevent moisture intrusion and protect the weave from delamination. This step is standard for any carbon fiber panel.

Are these compatible with my model variant?

These are engineered for base model applications only. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle does not have Z06, Grand Sport, or ZR1 body modifications, as fender mounting points and door jamb geometry differ on those platforms.
