Will this reduce my ground clearance or risk scraping on driveways?

The lip extends from the front bumper line and will make contact on steep driveway approaches or speed bumps if your vehicle sits at stock height. Verify the installed extension against your driving patterns—spiral parking lots and typical speed bumps are generally safe, but steep ramps require careful entry angles.

Does FRP flex during normal driving, or will it stay rigid?

FRP maintains a hard, rigid panel structure under normal driving loads. It won't flex or rattle once properly mounted. If you frequently navigate severe speed bumps or unpaved roads, monitor the mounting points during the first few weeks to ensure fasteners remain tight.

What prep work should I do before painting?

Sand and prep the surface with appropriate grit before applying primer and your chosen topcoat. The panel arrives ready for finishing—no gelcoat removal or sealing required. Work in a clean, dust-free environment for best paint adhesion.
