Do these need a clear coat to prevent yellowing?

Carbon fiber exposed to UV will fade and discolor over time without protection. A clear coat or UV-resistant topcoat is strongly recommended to keep the finish looking fresh long-term.

Are these wet or dry carbon?

Product specs confirm carbon fiber construction but do not specify wet or dry finish. Confirm with the seller before purchasing if finish type is critical to your build.

Do I need to seal the edges where the pieces meet?

Yes—three-piece assemblies expose carbon edges at seams. Sealing these edges with epoxy or edge tape prevents moisture ingress and keeps the fit watertight over time.
