Will this interfere with my trunk seal or lower bumper panels?

The Lexer profile sits forward of the bumper line, so it won't catch your trunk or side panels on closing. If you're running an aftermarket bumper cover, verify clearance visually before final tightening—most setups run clear.

Should I drill new holes or use the factory mounting points?

Use the OEM factory holes first. They align without modification on this fitment. Only drill custom points if you're running a non-stock bumper assembly and those holes don't line up.

What finish should I apply after receiving it?

Sand the surface lightly with fine-grit paper to remove any mold release residue, then apply a quality two-part clear coat. This protects the carbon weave from UV fade and keeps it looking sharp. Epoxy or polyester primer is optional depending on your preferred top coat.
