No painting is required. If you want a color-matched finish, a body shop can paint over the clear coat after proper preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I reinstall my OEM torsion bars or struts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeibon strongly recommends against reinstalling OEM torsion bars, gas struts, or dampers. Because the carbon trunk is significantly lighter than OEM steel, these mechanisms can prevent the trunk from closing fully or crack the mounting points over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the warranty on this product?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeibon provides a fitment guarantee covering gaps wider than 1\/2 inch at the rear fenders, and a 6-month limited clear coat warranty covering heavy cloudiness, bubbles larger than 3\/8 inch, or major shade shifts. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, this aftermarket trunk lid does not void your vehicle's factory warranty for unrelated systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow difficult is installation?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation follows the same process as an OEM trunk replacement. An experienced DIY enthusiast can complete it with basic hand tools. Seibon recommends a helper to support the panel during hinge bolt installation and gap adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill this trunk fit cars that have had bodywork or accident repairs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeibon does not guarantee fitment on vehicles that have been in accidents or had body damage. On a structurally sound, unmodified vehicle, fitment is guaranteed per Seibon's published standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with all necessary hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trunk lid does not include new hardware. Transfer the OEM latch, striker, hinge bolts, and wiring connectors from your original trunk. All OEM mounting points are pre-drilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I care for the carbon fiber finish?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash with mild soap and a microfiber cloth. Apply a UV-protectant wax after every wash. Avoid automatic car washes with abrasive brushes. An additional clear coat layer applied annually will significantly extend the life of the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs this product street legal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeibon products are intended for off-highway and motorsport use.
