Will this lip interfere with the trunk or lower bumper panel when closed?

No — this is a front add-on lip designed to extend the lower bumper line only. It sits ahead of all moving body panels and does not obstruct any mechanical components or closures.

Does carbon fiber require any special prep or finish before installation?

The lip arrives ready to install with UV-protective clear coat applied. Before mounting, sand and prep the contact points where the lip will attach to ensure a clean bond. Your chosen adhesive or fastener system will determine the surface preparation needed — refer to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for best results.

How do I secure this to my bumper — adhesive, bolts, or both?

Installation method depends on your setup and preference. Adhesive mounting offers a clean look with no visible fasteners; mechanical fasteners provide a more secure, removable connection. For sensor compatibility and to avoid drilling through any functional bumper elements, reference your vehicle's OEM bumper hole locations and any integrated components before committing to your mounting strategy.
