Does this bumper work as a standalone upgrade, or does it require other parts?

This bumper is designed to work as part of a complete wide body kit. It's engineered to align with the widened fender and rocker panels of the Evo 2 setup, so it should be installed alongside the full kit for proper fitment and appearance.

Will the stock fog light cutouts line up with my existing fog housings?

Reference your vehicle's OEM bumper hole locations and dimensions before installation. If your fog lights sit in the original positions, test-fit the bumper to verify alignment before final mounting. Any necessary cutout adjustments should be made during the prep phase.

What prep work should I do before painting?

Sand the surface thoroughly to remove any gloss or contamination, then clean with a wax and grease remover. This ensures proper paint adhesion. Once prepped, apply your primer and topcoat according to your paint system's specifications for a long-lasting finish.
