Do these require painting, or can I leave them raw carbon?

Dry carbon can be installed as-is with the visible weave texture, or you can paint to match your bumper. If you choose paint, sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish for best adhesion and appearance.

Will these work with my bumper's existing sensor or fog light cutouts?

These are air duct extensions designed for the lower bumper fascia. Before installation, verify that the mounting locations and vent openings do not interfere with your vehicle's OEM sensor positions or fog light housing. Measure your existing cutouts and compare to the duct placement.

What's the difference between dry carbon and glossy or painted carbon?

Dry carbon shows the raw twill weave texture with a matte finish and is typically sealed with clear coat for UV protection. It weighs less than painted alternatives and delivers that authentic carbon look. Glossy or painted options hide the weave under a solid finish — choose based on your desired aesthetic and maintenance preference.
