Will this grille work with my truck's original bumper cover?

Yes. This grille is designed to mount at factory points without modification to your existing bumper or fascia. It bolts in where the OEM grille was.

Do I need to prime or paint this before installing it?

The matte black finish ships ready to bolt on. If you want to customize the color or texture, you can sand and prep before installation—just test-fit first to confirm mounting clearance.

What hardware do I need to install this?

Mounting hardware is not included with this grille. You'll use the factory fastener points on your truck—check your owner's manual or installation instructions for bolt size and torque specs specific to your model year.
