Will this lip affect my ground clearance?

The Fortune profile adds minimal extension below the factory bumper line. Verify ground clearance on steep driveways or approach angles particular to your driving. If you frequently scrape, consider your vehicle's current suspension geometry before installation.

Can FRP flex or does it stay rigid?

FRP maintains a hard panel construction and won't flex under normal road conditions. It's stiffer than ABS but will still absorb minor impacts without cracking. Avoid direct contact with curbs or low-speed bumps — protect it as you would any front bumper component.

What prep work is needed before painting?

Sand and prep the surface thoroughly before applying your chosen finish. The raw FRP condition means the gelcoat is sealed and receptive to primer and paint adhesion. Follow your paint supplier's surface prep guidelines for best results.
