Do I need to sand this before painting?

Yes — sand the surface with 220-grit or finer to promote paint adhesion. Wipe clean with a tack cloth before applying your topcoat or clear. A smooth prep surface ensures even color and finish quality.

Will fog lights fit through this bumper?

Check your vehicle's OEM bumper for fog light hole size and position before purchase. This cover is designed around the factory profile, so existing lighting cutouts should align. If you're adding custom lighting, measure the opening dimensions first.

How does FRP compare to OEM plastic in durability?

FRP is significantly lighter than steel bumpers and resists UV degradation with proper topcoat protection. Once painted, it handles minor impacts well and won't rust. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight without a sealed finish to maintain the gelcoat integrity.
