Do these come with a clear coat finish, or do I need to seal the edges?

These ship unfinished carbon, ready for your chosen clear coat application. Sealing the edges and weave prevents UV yellowing and moisture absorption — sand and prep the surface, then apply your preferred clear coat for full protection and gloss retention.

What's the difference between wet and dry carbon fiber, and which is this?

Wet carbon uses a resin-soaked layup for durability and finish quality; dry carbon uses pre-preg material for precision. This product uses genuine carbon fiber construction optimized for strength and weight savings — the specific layup method is built into the manufacturing process.

How do I prevent the carbon fiber from yellowing over time?

UV exposure will fade unprotected carbon. Apply a UV-protective clear coat during your prep phase, and reapply annually if exposed to direct sunlight. A quality automotive clear coat rated for carbon fiber will preserve the weave color and gloss for years.
