Will this diffuser scrape on speed bumps or driveway approaches?

The VR-S design extends below the factory bumper line. Before installation, measure your typical driveway approach angle and the diffuser's lowest edge height to confirm adequate clearance for your driving conditions. This is a cosmetic-meets-functional piece, so ground clearance depends entirely on your vehicle's suspension setup and ride height.

Does this diffuser provide actual aerodynamic downforce or is it purely visual?

VR-S styling is primarily cosmetic. While the diffuser profile mimics functional aerodynamic shapes, real downforce requires a complete rear aero system tuned to your vehicle's weight, power, and typical speed range. This piece delivers the aggressive look; track-level aero gains require a more comprehensive setup.

What surface prep is required before painting?

Sand and prep the surface with standard automotive preparation methods before applying your chosen base coat and clear. Avoid high-pressure spray or impact during installation to prevent edge cracking—FRP is durable but benefits from careful handling during fitment.
