Will this bumper align with my vehicle's existing fog light cutouts?

The Aiming profile is designed to work with factory mounting points. Before installation, verify that existing fog light holes in your OEM bumper carrier align with this cover's design. If your carrier has custom or non-standard cutouts, test-fit the bumper before committing to fasteners.

What surface prep should I do before painting?

Sand the bumper cover thoroughly and clean away all dust and debris. The Raw FRP finish accepts most automotive paints and clear coats directly. Work with your paint supplier to confirm compatibility with your chosen color system.

Does the lower valance area require any reinforcement where it meets the bumper beam?

The bumper cover mounts to the factory beam structure beneath. Ensure your OEM mounting hardware is intact and clean before installation. The FRP panel itself does not add structural support — it relies entirely on the vehicle's original mount points for security.
