Will I need to drill holes for existing bumper sensors or fog lights?

This cover is designed as a bolt-on replacement. Before installation, verify the location of any OEM sensor cutouts and fog light openings on your vehicle's current bumper, then mark and carefully cut corresponding openings in this cover to match. Reference your vehicle's service manual for sensor and fog light housing dimensions.

What prep work is required before painting?

Sand the surface with appropriate grit to scuff the finish, then wipe clean of all dust. Fill any imperfections with body filler if needed, and sand smooth. Apply your chosen primer and paint system per manufacturer guidelines. Proper surface prep ensures strong paint adhesion and a factory-quality finish.

Does this fit with the factory lower valance panel?

This bumper cover replaces the entire front bumper assembly. Check compatibility with your vehicle's lower valance and any splitter or diffuser components before ordering. You may need to trim or adjust existing lower body trim to achieve seamless panel gaps.
