Do I need to prep the bumper before painting?

Yes. Sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper and clean thoroughly before applying basecoat and clear. A smooth, clean surface ensures even paint adhesion and finish quality.

Will this bumper fit my lower valance or air dam setup?

The CR bumper profile is designed around OEM attachment points. Verify that any aftermarket splitter or lower valance you plan to install clears the bumper's integrated lower lines. Mock-fit with existing components before final paint and installation.

Are there any fog light or sensor cutouts pre-drilled?

The bumper comes as a solid panel. If your setup requires fog light openings or sensor holes, you'll need to carefully mark and cut those out based on your vehicle's original lamp and sensor locations before final prep and paint.
