Does this carbon fiber come with clear coat?

These panels arrive in raw carbon. Apply a quality clear coat before installation to protect against UV exposure and maintain the weave finish long-term. Clear coat is essential for longevity and appearance.

Will the carbon fiber yellow or fade in the sun?

Without clear coat protection, real carbon can lose its deep finish over time under UV exposure. A proper clear coat layer shields the weave and keeps the finish consistent. This is a one-time investment that protects your panels permanently.

Do I need to seal the edges before installing?

Yes. Sand and seal all raw edges with epoxy or edge sealant before final install. This prevents moisture from wicking into the carbon layers and protects against delamination. Take time to finish the edges properly — it's the difference between a panel that lasts and one that fails.
