Will the diffuser scrape on steep driveways or inclines?

The H Sport profile sits low for visual impact, so clearance on steep angles depends on your suspension height and approach angle. Measure the bumper-to-ground distance on your vehicle and compare it to the diffuser extension before installation. Lowered vehicles may require extra caution on steep ramps.

Does this diffuser provide functional downforce or is it purely cosmetic?

This is a styling diffuser designed to enhance the aggressive appearance of your rear bumper. While the profile mimics functional diffuser lines, real aerodynamic benefit requires a complete rear-end package—rear wing, splitter, and proper air management. Use it for looks; don't expect measurable downforce from the diffuser alone.

Should I apply clear coat to protect the carbon fiber?

Carbon fiber is durable, but UV exposure will fade the weave over time. A quality automotive clear coat (UV-protective) is recommended to preserve the finish and prevent oxidation. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish for best adhesion and longevity.
