Will this interfere with my front splitter or air dam?

This lip sits on the M Sport bumper's lower section and extends forward minimally. Check your bumper's existing air dam and splitter geometry against your lip's mounting points to confirm clearance. Minor trimming of existing trim pieces may be necessary depending on your setup.

Does the clear coat need maintenance, or will it crack in the sun?

The UV-protective clear coat is engineered to resist fading and oxidation. Like any exposed clear coat, wash regularly with pH-neutral soap and apply a automotive-grade UV protectant every 3–6 months to maintain gloss and prevent micro-cracking from UV exposure and thermal cycling.

Can I drill through the lip for additional mounting, or is it adhesive-only?

This is a bolt-on lip designed for factory fastener holes on the M Sport bumper. Drilling through real carbon fiber can cause delamination and void the structural integrity. Use the stock mounting points and fasteners intended for your bumper—no drilling required.
