Will I need to cut out my fog light holes?

This bumper ships as a full cover without pre-cut fog openings. You'll need to mark and carefully cut your own fog hole locations to match your factory lights or custom configuration.

Do I need to modify the lower valance area for fitment?

The bumper is designed to align with factory mounting points, but your specific lower valance trim and any sensor cutouts may require test-fitting before final installation. FRP can be carefully trimmed with a rotary tool or fine-tooth saw if minor adjustment is needed.

Should I paint this before or after installing it?

Paint after installation is recommended. This lets you fit and secure the bumper first, verify final fitment, then remove it for painting. Painting off-car also minimizes overspray on your vehicle and ensures even color matching across the entire panel.
