Do these caps require any surface preparation before installation?

No prep needed. The caps come finished with UV-protective clear coat and mount directly to factory bumper locations. Clean the mounting surface with soap and water before fitting to ensure a clean bond.

Are these compatible with my existing wide body kit?

These caps are designed to integrate with AF-1 style wide body aerodynamic packages. Verify your kit matches the AF-1 specification and that your bumper's contact points align with the cap mounting locations before purchase.

Will the reflective finish fade or need maintenance?

The factory clear coat protects the carbon fiber from UV exposure. Maintain them like any exterior carbon piece — wash regularly with mild soap and water, and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive polishing compounds. The clear coat is designed to resist fading under normal conditions.
