Will the lip interfere with my trunk seal or rear bumper when the hood opens?

No. The front lip mounts low on the front bumper and does not contact hood hinges or trunk seals. Verify clearance during installation by opening and closing your hood smoothly before final tightening.

Can I install this with factory fasteners, or do I need new hardware?

The lip uses existing OEM mounting points. Inspect your factory bumper brackets for corrosion or missing fasteners before installation. If any holes are stripped or corroded, plan to source replacement hardware to match your existing fastener specs.

What prep steps do I need before painting?

Sand the surface with medium-grit sandpaper to promote adhesion, then clean thoroughly with wax and grease remover. This ensures your topcoat bonds evenly and prevents future peeling or adhesion issues.
