Do I need to paint this before installation?

Yes. This grille Requires Surface Prep, so you'll want to sand and prep the surface, then apply primer and your chosen topcoat. This ensures a clean blend with your hood and bumper finish.

Will this work with my factory mounting tabs?

The Aiming design integrates with standard factory mounting points. Verify your vehicle's OEM grille attachment location before ordering to confirm alignment with your setup.

What prep do I need before painting?

Sand the entire surface lightly to improve paint adhesion, then clean with a tack cloth to remove dust. From there, follow your primer and paint manufacturer's instructions for best results on FRP.
