Will this bolt straight to my bumper cover, or do I need to prep anything?

This bracket mounts at your factory attachment points. No drilling or cutting needed. You may want to inspect the mounting area on your existing bumper cover for any debris or corrosion before installation.

Do I need fasteners or hardware to install this?

The bracket is supplied alone. You'll use whatever fasteners or clips secure your bumper cover to the frame in that location. Confirm your OEM hardware is in good condition before bolting this up.

Can I paint this to match my bumper, or does it come primed?

The bracket arrives as a bare hard panel. If your bumper cover and bracket will be visible together, paint or seal both to the same finish to avoid contrast. Primer or clear coat is your call based on exposure.
