Do I need to drill new mounting holes, or does this use the factory locations?

This bumper is engineered for factory mounting points. Verify your existing bracket positions before installation — no new drilling required if your hardware aligns with the OEM setup.

Can I install this without removing my front bumper assembly?

No. Full removal of the existing bumper is necessary to bolt this cover into place. Plan for basic hand tools and a few hours of work.

What prep work is required before painting?

Sand the surface and wipe clean before applying your chosen basecoat and clear. Follow standard automotive refinishing practices for your selected paint system.
