Will this lip interfere with the front bumper cutouts or sensor areas?

The Alpha design maintains standard bumper clearance. Before installation, verify your OEM bumper hole locations (fog lights, sensors, air intakes) align with the lip profile. If your vehicle has been modified or repainted with altered geometry, test-fit and measure clearance at the deepest lip extension point.

Should I use adhesive or bolt this down?

This lip is designed for bolt-on installation using the factory bumper mounting points. No adhesive is required or recommended. Bolting ensures a secure, removable fit and avoids any risk to the carbon finish from chemical bonding agents.

How do I maintain the carbon fiber finish to prevent oxidation?

Hand-laid carbon fiber is protected by clear coat, which resists UV exposure. Wash regularly with mild soap and water, and apply a quality automotive clear coat sealant or ceramic coating annually. Avoid abrasive polishes or heavy scrubbing on the weave pattern.
