Will this interfere with the factory bumper cover or hood during opening?

This lip is designed to sit below the front fascia line. Check your OEM bumper geometry and hood clearance before finalizing installation — minor adjustments to mounting bracket position may be necessary depending on your specific setup.

What preparation is needed before painting?

Sand the surface with standard automotive abrasive pads and wipe clean before applying your chosen basecoat and topcoat. Primer adhesion is critical — proper surface prep ensures long-term finish integrity.

Can I install this with adhesive instead of drilling mounting holes?

FRP panels typically hold adhesive well for secondary trim, but bolted fasteners provide better stability at speed and in high-vibration areas. For front-end components, drilling fastener points into the existing mounting structure is the recommended approach for durability.
