Do I need to prep the surface before painting?

Yes. Sand the bumper with appropriate grit to open the FRP texture, then wipe clean. This ensures paint adhesion and a professional finish. Use your preferred primer and paint system—FRP accepts standard automotive finishes well.

Will this bumper fit the same mounting points as my OEM cover?

Yes. This cover uses factory-style mounting locations, so bolt-up is direct to existing hardware. Verify your vehicle's OEM fastener locations before installation to confirm alignment with your specific setup.

How does FRP compare to the original plastic bumper in durability?

FRP resists cracking better than standard OEM plastic under flex and impact. It's lighter weight while maintaining structural rigidity. Care for it like you would any bumper cover—avoid dragging on low obstacles and sand/repaint if scuffed during install or use.
