Will this interfere with the OEM front bumper or undertray?

The AF-2 profile is designed to clear stock bumper lines and undercarriage components. Verify fitment by comparing the lower lip geometry to your vehicle's current front bumper height before installation — minor adjustments to existing undertray brackets may be needed depending on prior modifications.

Should I use adhesive or drill through to mount this?

This lip is engineered for adhesive mounting to the factory bumper. Use a high-quality automotive epoxy or polyurethane adhesive rated for carbon fiber bonding. Prepare the mounting surfaces with light sanding and solvent wipe to ensure clean contact and long-term grip.

How do I maintain the carbon finish?

Applied clear coat protects the twill weave from UV damage and road contamination. Wash regularly with car soap, dry with a microfiber cloth, and apply a UV-resistant automotive wax every 3–4 months. Avoid pressure washers on the mounting edges to preserve adhesive integrity.
