Will this lip interfere with the trunk seal or bumper panel alignment?

The gavel profile is designed to sit flush with existing bumper geometry. Before installation, verify that your vehicle's bumper and undertrim sit level — any sagging or bent factory components will affect fitment. Dry-fit the lip against the bumper face to confirm alignment before final fastening.

What surface prep do I need before painting?

Sand the surface with appropriate automotive-grade sandpaper to promote adhesion and remove any dust or release agent residue. Use a tack cloth before applying your chosen primer and paint system. This ensures color match and durability.

Does the gavel design create stability issues at highway speed?

The angular profile is optimized for visual impact, not aerodynamic load. At normal highway speeds, FRP front lips experience minimal pressure. On track or high-speed runs, monitor for any vibration or movement — if detected, verify fastener torque and that all mounting points are fully secured to the bumper structure.
