Do I need to apply clear coat to protect against UV yellowing?

Yes. Carbon fiber benefits from a UV-protective clear coat to maintain its finish and prevent oxidation over time. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen clear coat product for best results.

Should I seal the edges where the fenders meet the OEM panel?

Sealing the edges is recommended to prevent water intrusion and debris buildup. A flexible sealer or weatherstripping applied to the contact points will keep moisture out and maintain a clean appearance.

Is this dry or wet carbon fiber?

These are hand-laid real carbon fiber panels, constructed with traditional wet layup methods for strength and durability. The finish is uncoated, so your choice of clear coat will determine the final look and protection level.
