Do I need to paint this before installation?

Depends on your finish preference. If your Tundra is a specific color and you want seamless matching, paint prep and application are recommended before or after install. Install first to verify fitment if you're unsure.

What hardware do I need to bolt this on?

Valance assembly only—fasteners and hardware are not included. Use stainless or plated bolts rated for outdoor exposure and torque according to your vehicle's service manual to avoid overtightening.

Can I install this myself with basic tools?

Yes. You'll need a socket set, jack, and jack stands to access the lower bumper area safely. Test-fit the valance before final fastening to ensure alignment with your bumper and frame points.
