Will this lip affect my ground clearance or cause scraping?

The lip extends slightly below the factory bumper line. Low-speed scraping on steep driveways or speed bumps is possible depending on your suspension setup and driving style. Verify your existing ground clearance before ordering, and inspect fitment once installed.

Is FRP rigid or will it flex under impact?

FRP is a rigid hard panel construction. It will not flex or absorb minor contact — damage from road debris or low-speed impacts may crack or chip the surface. Inspect regularly and touch up exposed gelcoat to prevent moisture intrusion.

What prep work do I need before painting?

Sand the entire surface with appropriate automotive sandpaper and clean thoroughly to remove dust and oils. Apply a quality primer designed for fiberglass, then your chosen topcoat. Follow your paint manufacturer's instructions for cure times and application.
