Will this interfere with my front bumper when the car is parked on an incline?

The AF-1 lip mounts to your OEM bumper structure and follows its mounting plane, so ground clearance matches your factory setup. Double-check your driveway slope and any parking lot lips before your first outing—standard precaution with any front splitter or lip.

Does the clear coat need to be reapplied, or is it sealed and ready to bolt on?

The clear coat is applied and cured at the factory. You can install it straight out of the box. Over time, UV exposure will age the finish like any carbon fiber part; some owners refresh the clear coat every few years to maintain gloss, but it's not required for protection or function.

How do I ensure it stays aligned with the bumper corners and doesn't shift during installation?

Test-fit the lip against your bumper before tightening any fasteners. Align the edges flush with the bumper contour, then secure from the center outward. Use a helper to hold the piece steady while you tighten fasteners—this prevents the lip from drifting and ensures even gaps on both sides.
