Default Help,Dumb Q about bumper?

I know some when it comes to the mechanical aspect of cars but have no idea when it comes to cosmetics. I was wondering what is involved if I were to purchase the Vertex front bumper? I guess what I'm asking is is it as simple as just bolting it on (I wish) or do you got to do alot of test fitting and sanding? Thanks so much for any insight on how to do this.

If the Vertex is fibergalss, there will have to be some prep involved depending on the quality (sanding, filling, paint prep). If its urethane there is prep involved in getting it ready for paint. Not sure, as I haven't seen one in person. If you do a search I'm sure you will find some info though. In addition, you have the paint obviously and then install. Again, depending on quality and if the holes are pre-drilled you can install yourself. I am personally getting mine installed professionally as I would like it to be perfect from the get-go...
