Does this grille require painting before installation?

Carbon fiber typically arrives in raw form. Sand and prep the surface thoroughly, then apply your chosen clear coat or finish to protect the weave and achieve your desired look — whether that's natural carbon or a custom color.

Will this fit my bumper assembly without modification?

This grille is a direct replacement designed for the factory mounting location. Before installation, verify that your vehicle's bumper frame and grille opening match the standard configuration — no aftermarket bumper extensions or custom modifications should interfere with fitment.

How do I maintain the carbon fiber finish long-term?

Rinse regularly with water to remove road debris and salt. Once your clear coat is applied and cured, use a microfiber cloth and automotive soap — avoid abrasive polishes or high-pressure washers that can damage the finish. UV-protective clear coat is strongly recommended to preserve the weave color and prevent oxidation.
