Will the existing fog light cutouts and sensor holes line up with my bumper?

Yes — this bumper is molded to OEM specifications and includes the factory fog light openings and sensor cutout locations. You may need to verify alignment with your specific bumper bar assembly before final install.

Does the lower valance mount to this bumper cover, or do I need a separate piece?

This is the bumper cover only. The lower valance is a separate component and attaches independently to the chassis, not directly to this cover. Check fitment compatibility with your valance piece before purchase.

Should I paint this before or after installation?

Either works, but most builders paint off the car for better coverage and masking control. Since it ships raw FRP, sand it smooth, apply your base coat and clear, then mount it to avoid handling scratches on fresh paint.
