🛠 Installation
Installation requires basic tools and DIY skills
Minor trimming / preparation of the original panel may be required

No special automotive tools needed
This is a repair-style replacement, not a simple clip-in cosmetic cover.
🧱 Manufacturing & Finish Notice
This part is professionally 3D printed using automotive-grade materials suitable for interior and roof panel use.
Due to the nature of 3D printing, minor cosmetic artifacts or layer lines may be visible, especially upon close inspection.
Every part is produced with high-quality settings and careful orientation to minimize these effects wherever possible.
For customers seeking a perfect show-car finish, light sanding and painting or fabric covering can be done easily, although this is not required for proper function.
