Does this grille come with a clear coat finish?

The grille arrives in raw carbon weave. Apply a UV-protective clear coat before installation to seal the finish and prevent yellowing from sun exposure. This step locks in the glossy appearance and extends the life of the carbon significantly.

How do I protect the edges from delamination?

Sand and seal all exposed edges with epoxy or resin before mounting. This prevents moisture from entering the weave and protects the structural integrity of the panel during daily use and weather exposure.

Will this yellow or fade without protection?

Real carbon fiber exposed to direct sunlight without clear coat will yellow over time. A quality UV-protective clear coat applied before installation is essential to maintain the deep black weave and prevent discoloration from UV rays.
