Do I need to sand and prep this before painting?

Yes. Sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to remove any dust or gloss, then apply your chosen base coat and clear. A clean surface ensures even paint adhesion and a professional finish.

Will this mount with the factory grille clips and fasteners?

This grille is designed to use your vehicle's existing mounting locations. Verify that your current clips and fasteners align with the attachment points on this assembly before installation.

What happens if the grille cracks or breaks after I install it?

FRP is impact-resistant but can crack if struck hard enough. Avoid driving through brush or heavy debris. Minor cracks can often be repaired with epoxy or fiberglass repair kits; for major damage, replacement is the most reliable option.
