Do these pieces need to be painted?

Carbon fiber can be finished in multiple ways. You can apply a UV-protective clear coat to preserve the natural weave, or wet-sand and paint each piece to match your vehicle. Surface prep is critical—sand thoroughly and clean before applying your chosen finish.

Can I install this myself, or do I need a shop?

Installation depends on your comfort level with fitment and fastening. Each piece bolts or adheres to existing mounting points on your vehicle. Dry-fit all four pieces first to confirm alignment before permanent installation. If you're unsure about drilling or fastener placement, a shop can verify fit against your specific vehicle.

What's the weight difference compared to OEM?

Real carbon fiber is significantly lighter than OEM plastic or composite body panels. Weight savings accumulate across four pieces, improving handling and reducing unsprung mass—a real benefit over factory parts.
