Will this lip lower my ground clearance?

The lip extends the front fascia downward relative to the bumper. Measure the lip profile and verify clearance against your driveway slope, speed bumps, and parking approach angles before painting and installation. FRP flex under impact is minimal — verify your ground clearance tolerance before committing to this style.

Does this material flex or is it rigid?

FRP is a hard panel construction. It provides solid structure and holds its shape, but will flex slightly under direct impact before cracking. This is normal for FRP components — treat it like a bumper cover, not a reinforcement bar.

Do I need the Circuit bumper to make this work?

Yes — this lip is engineered specifically for the Circuit bumper assembly. It relies on that bumper's mounting points and alignment. Verify you have the matching Circuit bumper before ordering.
