Will this interfere with the factory bumper or hood when fully extended?

The OEM-look profile is designed to follow original bumper geometry, so interference is minimal. Verify fitment against your bumper's condition — any crease or prior damage may require bumper straightening before installation.

Should I adhesive-bond this or drill through the bumper?

This lip is engineered for bolt-on mounting to your existing front bumper. Follow the mounting holes provided and use fasteners appropriate for your bumper material — drilling is not required for proper installation.

What finish prep does real carbon fiber need?

Carbon fiber arrives ready to install. If you want to seal the weave or add extra UV protection, sand the surface lightly and apply your chosen clear coat before mounting. This step is optional but extends the life of the finish.
