Will this interfere with the bumper when installed?

No — this lip is designed to sit flush once your bumper is cut to accommodate it. The cut line is straightforward and matches the lip's upper edge. Take time to mark and measure before cutting, and the fit will be clean.

How much of the front bumper needs to be removed?

Enough material must be removed to allow the lip to mount at the correct depth and angle. The RD-S profile is designed to sit low and forward, so plan on a horizontal cut across the lower bumper fascia. Exact cut dimensions depend on your bumper's current condition — compare the lip's mounting face to your bumper before committing.

What prep work is needed before paint?

Sand the surface with even pressure to create a smooth base for adhesion. Any dust or debris should be wiped clean with a tack cloth before primer and paint application. This step takes 15 minutes and ensures your finish stays durable long-term.
