Do I need to remove the bumper to install this?

Mounting method varies depending on your year model. Test-fit the grille against your bumper and core support before committing to fastener type. Some installs work with the bumper in place; others benefit from removal for easier access.

Does this come with bolts or clips?

The grille assembly only is included. You'll need to source fasteners based on your truck's existing mounting holes — bring the grille to your installer or test-fit first to confirm what hardware works.

What prep is needed before I paint it?

Bare panel surfaces benefit from light scuffing and primer application before final color coat. If you're sending it to a shop, let them handle prep — they'll know the best primer and sanding sequence for your chosen topcoat.
