Will this bumper work with my factory fog light cutouts?

Check your OEM bumper hole locations before drilling or routing. The KSS profile is designed around factory mounting points, but final cutout placement depends on your vehicle's specific setup. Reference your service manual for fog light positioning details.

Do I need to remove the factory bumper to install this?

Yes. This is a full bumper replacement. You'll disconnect and remove the OEM bumper first, then mount this assembly using factory attachment points. Standard hand tools and basic mechanical knowledge are recommended.

What prep work is needed before painting?

Sand the surface thoroughly and clean away all dust and debris before applying primer and your final coat. Use automotive-grade primer and paint products compatible with FRP. Your paint supplier can recommend the right primer system for this material.
