Will I need to drill holes in my bumper to install this?

No drilling required — this guard mounts at the factory attachment points on your Pathfinder. Bolts straight in using existing hardware locations.

Does the chrome need any prep or treatment before I bolt it on?

The finish ships ready to install. Wipe it down with a clean cloth before mounting to remove any dust from storage, then attach. No primer or sealant needed.

What happens if the chrome gets scratched or dented after I install it?

Minor scratches can be polished out with standard chrome polish. Deeper damage or dents typically require replacement of that section — reach out to support with photos if you need repair or warranty options.
