Will this lip catch on speed bumps or low-angle driveways?

The Goblin profile is designed with a shallow extension angle, so typical driveway and speed bump clearance should remain safe. Before installation, measure your current OEM lip clearance and verify that adding this panel won't interfere with your parking habits or local terrain. If you have significant lowering or live in a very uneven area, test fit before full commitment.

Does carbon fiber require a clear coat, or can I leave it as-is?

Real carbon fiber benefits from UV-protective clear coat to preserve the weave pattern and prevent oxidation over time. You can install and run it bare if you prefer the raw look, but a quality clear coat will extend the finish life significantly and maintain that glossy carbon appearance.

How do I prep the mounting surface before installation?

Sand the OEM bumper contact points lightly to remove any gloss or contamination, then wipe clean with a tack cloth. Ensure all old adhesive or residue is gone. Once the surface is dry and prepped, you're ready to mount according to your chosen fastening method—whether that's adhesive, mechanical fasteners, or a combination approach.
