This is from the seibon site:

For a stunning finish, our products are coated with a glossy clear coat that does not chip or flake

Nothing about it being UV protected and I've seen people go back and forth calling it a "gel coat". I'm probably making it a bigger deal than it should be, I'm sure regular waxing and sealing will be fine.

I've just so many CF parts that start to look really dull in time.

But.....I'll probably still get it. It flows well with the body lines.
Fitment was great and build quality is excellent. The top is clearcoated, the underside is not, and the carbon fiber itself looks great. I'll probably have it ceramic coated at some point to match the rest of the car.

Word of warning on the install.. be very careful how much vertical pressure you assert when removing the OEM spoiler. The trunk skin is very thin and I ended up with some minor creases. Not sure if it was the tool I chose to use or if I just used too much force. Thankfully they're hidden beneath the spoiler.

So my dad taught me not to jump the gun for a reason 🤣🤣. Right when I almost closed the deal on the 2023 Atomic Silver, the dealership called me and said they got the 2024 Blue Vector and I was first on the waitlist! It'll be at the dealership in 2-3 weeks. I thought i missed out on it but it looks like the guy ahead of me may have backed out. Oh well, his loss!!! I canceled my purchase of the Atomic Silver and I am now going to be the proud owner of a Blue Vector!! 😁😁 Cant wait to post it!

Great news!!! I’m always glad to add to the #BlueCrew ranks! There’s not enough of us to forcibly take over the world, but we can replace world leaders. 💪🏽😂💙
