Will I need to modify the fog light cutouts or sensor holes?

The C-1 bumper is designed to use factory mounting and sensor locations. Before installation, verify your OEM bumper cutout positions and compare them to this cover. You may need to carefully transfer existing hole locations to the new panel to maintain sensor and light fitment.

How should I prepare the surface before painting?

Sand and prep the surface with standard automotive abrasive methods before applying your chosen paint or clear coat. The FRP is ready to accept basecoat and topcoat once prepped.

Does the C-1 profile sit lower or higher than the OEM bumper?

The C-1 style has a more pronounced lower contour compared to stock. Verify clearance against your exhaust system, rear diffusers, or any aftermarket components mounted near the rear fascia to ensure proper fitment.
