Does this come with clear coat protection against UV yellowing?

These panels are bare carbon fiber. Applying a UV-protective clear coat is strongly recommended to maintain the finish and prevent yellowing over time. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen clear coat system.

Should I seal the edges where the fenders meet the body?

Yes. Sealing the edges protects the exposed carbon layers from moisture and debris. Use a flexible automotive sealant or edge tape around the perimeter after installation to prevent water intrusion.

Will these fenders feel as solid as OEM panels?

Carbon fiber is naturally stiffer and lighter than factory steel, so the feel is different — more rigid and responsive. Hand-laid construction ensures consistent panel thickness and durability equivalent to performance-level carbon parts.
