Will my factory rear sensor work with this cover?

Yes. The sensor hole is pre-positioned to align with your truck's factory sensor. No drilling or modification needed—mount it straight up.

Do I need to remove my old bumper to install this?

This is a cover replacement, so you'll be working with your existing bumper assembly. It bolts on using factory attachment points—basic hand tools and about an hour should get you done.

What should I do about paint before installation?

The cover arrives unpainted. Clean, prime, and paint it to match your truck before or after mounting—either way works. Test-fit first to confirm sensor alignment, then finish paint at your preference.
