Will this lip affect my ground clearance or create scrape risk?

The Type S Aspec design adds minimal extension below the factory bumper line. Ground clearance impact is negligible on stock suspension. If you run lowered springs or coilovers, verify clearance at driveway approach angles before committing to permanent mounting.

Is the FRP material rigid or does it have flex?

FRP offers a balance of structural rigidity and controlled flex. The material won't crack under normal road vibration, but excessive force or impact will damage it like any composite bumper component. Handle and secure mounting carefully during install to avoid stress points.

What prep and finishing steps do I need to do?

Sand the surface lightly before applying your chosen topcoat or paint. The FRP is sealed and ready to accept adhesion promoter and your finish. UV-resistant paint or clear coat will extend the life of the panel in sun exposure.
