Will this lip interfere with my trunk seal or splitter on aggressive approach angles?

The Zamba profile is designed for street fitment without scraping on mild ramps. If you run a splitter or lowered suspension, test your approach angle at a parking lot curb before committing to fasteners. Your clearance depends on ride height and splitter geometry, not the lip alone.

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

This lip is engineered for bolt-on mounting to your OEM bumper holes—no adhesive or drilling required. Locate your existing fastener points on the front bumper and secure through the pre-drilled mounting pads on the lip. Torque specs vary by fastener; refer to your vehicle's service manual for proper values.

Does carbon fiber need any prep before I install it?

Inspect the clear coat finish for any transport damage and clean the mounting surface with soap and water before fastening. Sand the contact points lightly if you detect any rough edges, then wipe clean. A protective wax applied after install helps maintain the weave finish over time.
