Will this bumper cover clear my fog light bezels and sensor holes?

The 1M design features integrated air intakes that align with OEM fog light positioning. Before ordering, verify your vehicle's fog hole locations and sensor cutout dimensions against the bumper profile. You may need to trim or drill the cover to match your exact bumper configuration — compare photos carefully to your current setup.

Do I need to remove my lower valance or splitter to install this?

This cover mounts to factory bumper attachment points and does not require removal of the lower valance. If you run an aftermarket splitter or lower diffuser, confirm clearance between the splitter mounting and the new bumper cover before installation — fitment depends on the specific splitter design.

What should I do to prepare the surface before painting?

Sand and prep the surface with the grit and primer appropriate for your chosen topcoat system. Since the cover Requires Surface Prep, you can apply your paint or clear directly once surface preparation is complete. Consult your paint supplier's prep recommendations to ensure proper adhesion and finish quality.
