Will this fit my existing bumper sensor holes?

The W-1 profile is a clean design without pre-drilled sensor cutouts. Before installation, reference your vehicle's OEM bumper mounting location and sensor hole placement. You can mark and drill sensor holes to match your existing setup once the bumper is mounted.

Should I paint before or after installing the bumper?

Most builders prefer to paint after installation. The bumper ships raw FRP, so you can test-fit it dry, verify alignment with your hood and fenders, then remove it for final sanding, basecoat, and clear coat application. This prevents paint damage during fitment and allows you to blend edges with the body.

Does this bumper work with the lower valance from the original bumper?

The W-1 style has its own proportions. Check the clearance between the bottom edge of this cover and any lower valance or undertray on your vehicle. You may need to trim or remove factory components to achieve proper fitment and avoid contact during suspension travel.
