Do these canards require drilling into my bumper?

No. These mount directly to your vehicle's factory bumper mounting points. Before installation, verify that your bumper mounting hole locations match the canard baseplate — reference your vehicle's service manual if needed.

What preparation is required before painting?

Sand the surface to ensure a clean, smooth base for adhesion. Once prepped, apply your chosen primer and finish coat. The FRP construction accepts standard automotive paint systems without additional sealing or bonding agents.

Will these canards fit if I have an aftermarket bumper cover installed?

Aftermarket bumper covers may have different mounting hole positions or widths. Check your bumper's baseplate dimensions and hole spacing against the canard mounting tabs before purchase to confirm alignment.
