Does this cover mount at the factory bumper attachment points?

Yes. This cover aligns with factory mounting locations — no drilling or welding required. Use your existing hardware or new fasteners rated for steel panel attachment.

Can I install this before or after painting?

Either way works. Many builders prefer to install first, mask around edges, then spray. Others prime and paint off-vehicle for cleaner coverage. Test-fit before committing to either method.

Will this cover my factory fog light cutouts and sensor holes?

No — this is a direct OEM replacement cover. It maintains all original openings and mounting locations. If your truck has factory fog lights or sensors, they'll remain exposed and functional.
