Does this require painting before installation?

Yes. The splitter Requires Surface Prep. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen basecoat and clear. This gives you full control over the finish and ensures proper adhesion.

What installation hardware do I need?

This splitter uses factory mounting points for a direct fit. Verify that your vehicle's front bumper has all original attachment locations intact. You may need hardware such as fasteners or brackets not included in this kit — check your vehicle's service manual or contact a technician if you're unsure about existing mounting configurations.

How durable is FRP compared to carbon fiber or fiberglass alternatives?

FRP is engineered to resist cracking and UV damage over time, making it a solid middle ground between flexibility and rigidity. It won't sag or flex excessively, and it's repairable if damaged. For long-term durability, maintain the paint finish and avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight.
