Does this work with my factory bumper, or do I need to replace the whole thing?

This bolts directly to your factory bumper—no replacement needed. Mount points align with the OEM structure.

Can I paint this before install?

Yes. The matte black ships ready to bolt on, but if you want a different color or gloss finish, paint it before mounting. Just make sure fastener holes stay clear.

Will this clear speed bumps and driveway approaches?

It adds minimal extension below the factory bumper line, so approach angles stay close to stock. Test-fit and measure your driveway clearance before committing to installation if you run low.
