Frequently Asked Questions

Does this require drilling or modification to install?
No. Anderson Composites molds every part from the OEM component so the mounting points are factory-exact. The lip splitter installs using existing attachment locations without permanent body modification.

What construction process does Anderson Composites use?
Anderson Composites uses a vacuum-infused 3K 2×2 twill carbon fiber wet layup. Resin is drawn evenly through the fiber mat under vacuum pressure, producing a consistent resin-to-fiber ratio without voids.

Can this part be painted?
Yes. Lightly sand the gel coat surface, apply a flexible composite primer, and finish with automotive basecoat and 2K clear coat.

Is this compatible with factory hardware?
Yes. Anderson Composites designs every part to work with OEM fasteners, clips, and mounting brackets. No specialty hardware is required for standard installation.
