Do I need to modify or extend my factory fog light cutouts for this bumper?

The MR design follows factory cutout spacing. Compare your vehicle's OEM fog hole locations with the bumper's opening geometry before final fitment to confirm alignment. Minor trimming may be needed depending on your specific build history.

Will this bumper work with my lower valance or splitter?

The one-piece design features a factory-profile underside. Lower valances and splitters designed for OEM MR-style bumpers will mount directly. If you're running aftermarket items, measure the mounting pocket height and nose clearance against this bumper's dimensions to ensure fitment.

What surface prep should I do before painting?

Sand and prep the surface with standard automotive sandpaper to promote paint adhesion. Wipe away dust and apply a quality automotive primer before your chosen topcoat. Standard detailing and masking practices apply.
