Will these flares clear my current wheel and tire setup?

These panels follow OEM contours, so they maintain the same clearance envelope as factory fenders. Verify your wheel offset and tire diameter against your vehicle's original specifications — if your current setup fits, these flares will accommodate it without modification.

Do these require drilling or permanent modifications to install?

No permanent drilling required. These panels mount at OEM attachment points. Confirm your existing fastener locations match the carbon fiber hole pattern before final installation.

What finish should I apply to bare carbon?

Sand the surface lightly and apply UV-protective clear coat to preserve the weave and prevent oxidation. A matte or gloss finish depends on your preference — both work well over properly prepped bare carbon.
