Will this lip sit flush against my bumper, or is there overhang?

Test-fit before final fastening — bumper geometry varies across vehicle platforms. Some gaps may appear depending on your bumper's curve. Minor adjustment with shims or repositioning of mounting points often takes care of it.

Can I paint this before installation, or should I wait until it's mounted?

Paint after mounting. This lets you mask the bumper and splitter together for seamless color transition. If you paint first, you risk damaging the finish during handling and bolt-down.

Do I need special fasteners, or can I use standard bolts?

Mounting hardware is not included — bring standard stainless or zinc-plated bolts that match your bumper's existing hole pattern. Check your vehicle's service manual for torque specs if you're unsure.
