Will this interfere with my front bumper or lower trim when installed?

The CVX profile is designed to hang below your factory bumper line without contact. Before installation, verify your bumper is straight and undamaged, and test-fit the lip to confirm clearance at your vehicle's lowest point when parked on level ground.

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

This lip uses factory mounting locations — no drilling required. Clean the existing holes and fastener points, then secure with appropriate stainless fasteners. Check for any debris or corrosion inside the holes before assembly.

Does raw carbon fiber need protection before installation?

Yes. Apply a quality automotive clear coat to the carbon surface before mounting. This protects the weave from UV damage, oxidation, and minor scuffs during handling and installation. Allow the coat to cure fully per manufacturer instructions before final fitment.
