Will this lip reduce my ground clearance?

The RBS V2 design extends downward with minimal overhang. Verify your typical driveway approach angle before installation, especially over steep driveways or speed bumps. Low-slung setups may contact high curbs — measure your current ground clearance and compare against the lip's vertical profile at your chosen mounting height.

Is this rigid or does it flex?

FRP panels offer a semi-rigid construction — they're stiffer than polyurethane but more forgiving than solid plastic. This balance prevents cracking from minor impacts while maintaining the sharp body lines of the RBS V2 design. Avoid repeated hard contact, as any composite material can stress-fracture under sustained impact.

What should I do before painting?

Sand and prep the surface thoroughly before applying your chosen primer and topcoat. FRP ships smooth and ready to accept finish, but surface preparation is key to paint adhesion. Work in a well-ventilated area and follow your paint manufacturer's guidelines for substrate compatibility.
