Do you have to cut anything as part of the install. i have a stock bumper

Yes but a very small area, not tough to do. The install was a little tough , I ahd to make a tool to reach putting on some of the nuts and bolts. Finally got it done 6 hours later. The grill guard is sturdy and tough, I love it

You have to cut the plastic splash shield. This is NOT an easy task to not make a mistake. I did a trial and check method, you will need a Dremal tool to cut. Think of how long the installation should take (3 hours) and multiply that by three (9 hrs).

A friend of mine installed it, but do remember him saying he had to cut a hole in it.

yes, there is a plastic insert between the grill and the bumper that has to be cut and the splash guard under the bumper has to be cut. ther is no template to do so and is definitely the worst part of the install.

It comes with installation instructions and everything you'll need to install it. I'm not sure the size you'll need to cut because we had a handy man install ours.

You don't have to, but like any other bolt on aftermarket cosmetic piece, a little more work and make it look a lot better.

Yes you must cut your own slots for installation. It is a universal system. Comes with instructions.

Not sure what you mean. I had to remove the bumper and grille to install them

Yes they do, with no issue. Just use the supplied bolts and nuts that will come with your new bumper

Nope. It bolts right onto the frame behind the bumper. You may need to drill 1" holes to get the bolts into the frame so make sure you have a drill big enough to hold a bit that large. I had to drill for my installation but there was a different set of bolts if the holes weren't necessary.

It depends but I doubt it. It's cut to fit the outline of the stock bumper it also uses the holes next to the brake pump mist aftermarket bumpers use those holes.

You have a pair of support bars for each side. You do not have to go through your bumper at all. It's very easy to install. The only thing you will have to do is remove your splash guard for installation. Then you need to cut two slots into your splash guard once you match it up to your bull bars. Then reinstall your splash guard. It looks great once its installed.

If you (as I) have an E.U. version you need to remove and modify the bumper. Just a tiny modification, but a lot of work. 1day approx. For an U.S. version it seems to be a simple installation and no need for modification, 2 hours of work approx.

There's a slight curve on the piece which brings it below the plastic bumper. I did not make any cuts.

No cutting or splicing,just unscrew one screw and install,they even come with new lights.

Sorry, I have not removed it yet, I installed them after I painted the bumper. I think it probably will!

no just clean off all the dirt and remove the bumper plastic clips and just tape it on top of the factory on then put in the plastic clips...

I have this bar on my 2013 Silverado. After removing the tow hooks, I had to cut about 1/4 " wide by 1/2" deep slot in the bottom of the plastic bumper opening. It was easy to do, just used a box cutter. I made the cut so the installation looked perfect. I imagine you could go without the cut, but it pushed down on the bumper opening and looked like it was dented. Hope this helps you. BTW I LOVE this Guard!

No, only the black plastic behind bumper under the car. After job is done, you can't tell this is dyi job, looks just like the dealers install for a fraction of the cost.
