Will this cover my OEM sensor or fog light openings?

The Buddy style is designed as a direct cover for the factory bumper structure. Check your vehicle's OEM bumper cutout locations — if your car has sensors or fog holes, verify their exact position against the cover profile before purchase to confirm compatibility with your trim level.

What prep work should I do before paint?

Sand the surface with appropriate grit to promote paint adhesion and remove any dust or handling marks. Clean thoroughly before applying your choice of base coat and clear coat. Refer to your paint supplier's instructions for temperature, humidity, and cure times.

Does this sit flush with the OEM bumper or extend outward?

The Buddy design profile is engineered to align with the factory bumper line. Before ordering, compare photos of the Buddy style against your vehicle's current bumper to confirm the visual fit matches your expectations — styling can vary between trim levels and production years.
