Do I need to remove my fog light bezels before installing this bumper?

Yes. The MSR style features integrated fog light opening geometry. You'll need to remove any existing OEM trim pieces around the fog lights before fitting the new bumper. Once installed, it creates a clean, unified appearance around both light housings.

Will this bumper accommodate my factory parking sensors?

The MSR design includes a lower valance that may affect where sensors mount or sit. Before installation, identify your OEM sensor locations on the original bumper, then evaluate clearance against the new lower panel geometry. You may need to relocate sensors or drill new mounting holes depending on your setup.

What surface prep should I do before painting?

Sand the surface with appropriate automotive abrasive to promote paint adhesion. Clean thoroughly to remove all dust and debris. Use a quality automotive primer and topcoat designed for plastic substrates. Proper surface preparation is key to a long-lasting, professional finish.
