Will this interfere with my bumper or grille opening?

The Malibu profile sits low and forward without blocking grille vents or sensor cutouts. Check your OEM bumper geometry before drilling to confirm clearance in your specific setup — this ensures clean fitment and avoids modifications to surrounding components.

Does this lip maintain stability at highway speeds?

Yes. The air dam design promotes downforce without creating lift or turbulence. The integrated profile is engineered to work with factory airflow paths rather than against them, keeping your front end planted and predictable.

What's the best way to prep this for paint?

Sand the surface with appropriate grit to create adhesion, then clean thoroughly before applying your chosen basecoat and clear. The gelcoat is designed to bond with automotive finishes — follow your paint system's prep guidelines for best results.
