Will this lip interfere with the factory bumper or air intake at speed?

The STI-style profile is engineered to sit flush with the lower bumper opening. Verify ground clearance on your specific driveway approach angle before final installation — carbon fiber panels are rigid and do not flex if contact occurs.

Should I use adhesive, self-tapping fasteners, or drill mounting holes?

This single-piece assembly is designed for bolt-on installation into existing factory bumper mounting points. Verify the availability of OEM fastener holes on your bumper before committing to installation — drilling may be required if factory location points do not align.

Does the carbon fiber need protection from UV or weather?

Real carbon fiber benefits from a clear coat finish to preserve the weave and protect against oxidation. Hand-laid panels are not pre-sealed, so sand and prepare the surface before applying your chosen UV-protective topcoat or clearcoat system.
