What prep and paint process should I follow before installation?

Sand the primer surface with appropriate automotive sandpaper to create a smooth base, then clean thoroughly. Apply your chosen automotive primer and topcoat system per the paint manufacturer's instructions. Allow full cure time before handling or bolting to the bumper to avoid finish damage.

Will this fit with my factory bumper, or do I need to replace the whole bumper?

This front lip bolts directly to your existing bumper using factory mounting locations. Your OEM bumper stays in place — the splitter adds the M Performance look as an accent piece without requiring full bumper replacement.

Do I need special fasteners or hardware to mount these lips?

Verify your bumper's OEM bolt hole spacing and diameter before ordering fasteners separately. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for correct bolt specification and torque values to ensure secure mounting.
