Will this cover my lower valance area, or do I need to source a separate piece?

This is a front bumper cover only. It will cover the main bumper face. If your lower valance requires a separate trim piece or skirt, verify the fit against your current valance setup before ordering — some restoration builds swap valances as a paired project.

Does this bumper have pre-cut openings for fog lights?

No fog light cutouts are integrated into this cover. If you plan to add fog lights, you'll need to mark and cut the openings yourself before painting. Reference your fog light housing diameter and mounting location to determine placement on the bumper face.

What surface prep should I do before painting?

Sand and prep the surface thoroughly before applying your chosen finish. A smooth, clean surface ensures paint adhesion and a professional appearance. Follow your paint system's preparation guidelines for best results.
