Will this trunk seal properly and avoid wind noise at speed?

Yes. The panel is engineered to factory fitment specifications, meaning the latch mechanism and perimeter seal work identically to OEM. If your original gasket has hardened, replace it during installation to ensure a tight closure across the full perimeter.

Does this require drilling, or does it bolt straight on?

This is a direct replacement panel that uses existing factory mounting points. No drilling or fabrication needed. Verify your vehicle's current trunk attachment hardware is intact before installation.

How do I maintain the carbon fiber finish?

The clear coat protects the weave from UV and contamination. Clean with mild soap and water; avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. If the clear coat gets scratched, light sanding and recoating will restore protection. For long-term preservation, consider a ceramic or wax topcoat.
