Will this interfere with my trunk seal or bumper panel?

The HMS profile is designed for the factory bumper geometry of your vehicle. Verify clearance with your existing bumper before installation — if you've modified the front end, mock-fit the lip to confirm it doesn't contact surrounding panels or create gaps at the trunk seam.

Should I use adhesive or drill through the mounting points?

Both methods work depending on your preference and the condition of your bumper. Adhesive provides a cleaner look with no visible fasteners; drilling offers permanent security. Sand the mounting surfaces thoroughly and verify alignment before committing to either method.

How do I prepare the FRP for painting?

Sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a quality automotive primer. The FRP surface accepts primer and paint well — pay attention to edge prep and ensure no sanding dust remains before priming. A smooth primer base will give you the finish quality you're after.
