Do these need clear coat protection, or do they come finished?

These ship as bare carbon fiber. A UV-protective clear coat is highly recommended to preserve the weave pattern and prevent color fading over time. Apply your choice of automotive clear coat after surface prep and before installation.

How do I seal the edges to prevent delamination?

Sand the edges smooth with fine grit sandpaper before clear coating. The clear coat will seal the exposed fiber edges and protect them from moisture. Avoid exposing raw edges to standing water, and inspect the seal annually if the skirts see frequent wash pressure.

What's the difference between wet carbon and dry carbon?

These are wet-laid carbon fiber, which offers excellent strength and a refined finish at a lower cost than hand-stitched dry carbon. The weave remains visible and vibrant under clear coat, delivering the carbon look without the premium price tag.
