Will I need to modify my lower valance for fitment?

This bumper cover mounts to factory attachment points without requiring lower valance changes. If your valance is damaged or heavily modified, test-fit before committing to paint.

Are there fog light cutouts pre-drilled?

No. The cover ships as a solid panel. You'll need to mark and cut your own fog light openings if your setup requires them — measure twice before cutting.

Should I paint this before or after installation?

Paint-before is easier for coverage and finish quality. Install after paint is fully cured to avoid damage during the mounting process.
