Does this bolt directly to the factory points on my bumper?

Yes—this bracket mounts at factory attachment points with no drilling needed. Test-fit it in place first to confirm alignment before tightening fasteners.

Will I need to remove the bumper cover to install this?

Access depends on how much clearance you have from underneath. Many DIYers can work around the cover with basic hand tools, but full removal makes the job easier and lets you confirm the bracket sits flush.

What fasteners do I need to secure it?

Fasteners are not included—refer to your vehicle's service manual or the factory bumper assembly diagram for the correct bolt size and torque spec. Most are standard metric fasteners you'll find at any hardware store.
