Will this interfere with my trunk seal or bumper attachment points?

The lip is engineered to align with factory mounting locations, so no modification of existing attachment points is necessary. Verify clearance between the lip edge and your bumper when mock-fitting before final installation.

What should I do to prepare the surface before painting?

Sand the surface smooth with appropriate sandpaper, then wipe clean of dust. Apply your chosen primer and topcoat per paint manufacturer recommendations. Proper surface prep is essential for adhesion and finish quality.

Can I install this with factory hardware, or do I need to drill new holes?

The factory mounting points accept standard fasteners without drilling. Use hardware that matches your vehicle's OEM bumper attachment spec—refer to your service manual for fastener size and torque values.
