Are fog light cutouts pre-drilled, or do I need to cut them myself?

This bumper cover is shipped as a solid panel. Verify your vehicle's OEM fog light hole locations and mark them on the cover before drilling to ensure proper sensor and light alignment.

Will this bumper work with my existing lower valance, or do I need to replace it?

The Evo design integrates a deeper air dam than stock, so clearance between this bumper and your existing lower valance will depend on how far the factory piece extends. Test-fit the cover before committing to paint to confirm fitment with your current setup.

Should I sand this before painting?

Yes. Sand and prep the entire surface with appropriate grit before applying primer and your final color coat. This ensures proper paint adhesion and a professional finish.
