Will this bumper work with my factory fog light cutouts and lower valance?

The GT350 profile includes functional duct openings that may differ from your current OEM bumper. Measure your existing fog light hole locations and lower air dam mounting points before ordering. If your valance clips or sensor mounts align with the factory bumper, verify they clear the new duct geometry—you may need minor trim or relocation of clips.

Can I install this in my garage, or does it need a shop?

Bumper swap is a straightforward DIY job: disconnect and remove the factory cover, unbolt the crash bar if required, and bolt this assembly in place using existing holes. No cutting, drilling, or welding needed. Hand tools and basic mechanical skills are all you need—plan 1–2 hours depending on your familiarity with bumper removal.

Do I need to paint this, or can I run the carbon finish as-is?

The clear coat protects the weave pattern and handles UV exposure, so you can install and drive it carbon-visible without paint. If you prefer body-color integration with your car, sand and prep the surface, then apply your chosen base coat and clear. The carbon texture takes paint well and won't require primer if you scuff the existing clear properly.
