Will this interfere with my trunk seal or bumper fitment?

The R Spec profile is designed to sit flush below the OEM bumper without binding. If your bumper has been modified or repaired, verify gap clearance before final installation — any bumper bulges or sagging will impact the fitment.

Should I use adhesive or drill through the bumper mounting points?

This lip is built for bolt-on installation into existing OEM bumper holes. Adhesive-only mounting is not recommended for front lips — fastener security keeps the piece stable at speed and protects against wind buffeting.

What finish prep does carbon fiber need before I paint or clear coat?

Sand the surface smooth and prep as you would any composite panel before your chosen paint or clear coat application. A protective clear coat is recommended to maintain the carbon weave appearance and resist UV fading over time.
