Does this valance use factory mounting points?

Yes. This mounts directly at OEM anchor locations—no drilling or reinforcement needed. Bolt it up the same way the original was fastened.

Will I need to paint this before installation?

Depends on your finish preference. It arrives unpainted; test-fit first, then prime and paint to match your truck's color if desired. Standard automotive primer and paint work fine.

What tools do I need to install this?

Basic hand tools—sockets, wrenches, and a jack to access the bumper assembly. Most people handle it in under an hour with standard garage equipment.
