Do these need clear coat protection?

Yes. Real carbon fiber benefits from a quality clear coat to protect the weave from UV damage and maintain the glossy finish long-term. Sand the surface lightly, apply primer if needed, then lay down your chosen clear coat system. This step keeps the weave looking fresh and prevents oxidation.

Will the edges need sealing after installation?

Edge sealing is recommended wherever the carbon meets bare substrate or fastener holes. Use epoxy, polyester, or automotive sealant along cut edges and mounting points to prevent moisture intrusion and keep the weave protected from the inside out.

How do these attach to my stock fenders?

Over-fenders mount directly over your existing factory panels using fasteners. Reference your vehicle's OEM bolt hole locations on the fender lip and door jamb area before drilling. A complete mounting guide specific to your setup will clarify exact hole placement and fastener type.
