Will this interfere with my bumper or air dam?

The VRS profile is designed to sit flush with OEM bumper geometry using factory mounting points. Verify clearance with your existing bumper cover before installation—any aftermarket bumper may require fitment confirmation based on its specific cutout depth.

Do I need to prep or finish the carbon fiber before installing?

The lip comes with UV-protective clear coat applied. If you plan to paint or modify the finish, sand the surface lightly to prep it for your chosen coating. Otherwise, it's ready to bolt on as-is.
