Should I apply clear coat to these fenders?

Yes. A UV-protective clear coat will preserve the carbon weave finish and prevent yellowing over time. Sand the surface lightly and apply your chosen automotive clear coat system before installation.

What prep work is needed before installation?

Clean the mounting surface on your existing fenders with soap and water, then dry completely. Rough the area lightly to help adhesive or fasteners grip. Check fitment against your vehicle's body lines before permanently securing.

How do I seal the edges where the over fender meets the original panel?

After installation, apply a flexible automotive sealant or trim-friendly adhesive around the seams to prevent water and debris entry. Allow full cure time before washing or driving in wet conditions.
