Does this cover require removal of the factory front bumper?

Yes. You'll remove your OEM bumper cover to install this GT500 replacement. The mounting points align with factory locations, so fastening follows your vehicle's original hardware pattern.

Will fog light cutouts or sensor holes need modification?

Check your vehicle's OEM bumper hole locations before installation. If your model includes factory fog light or sensor openings, measure and mark them on this cover before painting, then cut as needed to match your setup.

What prep work is required before painting?

Sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper and wipe clean to remove dust. This ensures your base coat and clear adheres evenly. Apply your paint system (primer, color, clear) per manufacturer instructions for best results.
