Will this cover my factory fog light cutouts?

This bumper is designed around factory mounting geometry. If your vehicle has OEM fog light openings, verify their size and location against the bumper's panel layout before ordering. You may need to cut or modify the fog light area to match your existing setup.

Do I need to cut a lower valance opening?

The bumper ships as a complete panel. If your vehicle's lower valance or air dam opening differs from stock, measure your OEM bumper opening and compare it to this panel before installation. Cutting may be required depending on your specific setup.

What prep work is needed before painting?

Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish. Since this Requires Surface Prep, the FRP is ready to accept primer and topcoat once you've scuffed it with appropriate grit and cleaned off any dust or release agent.
