Do I need fasteners to install this bracket?

You'll need hardware to secure the bracket to your frame and bumper cover, but fastener specs aren't confirmed—check your vehicle's service manual or test-fit against your bumper assembly to determine bolt size and torque specs.

Is this bracket painted or does it need prep before install?

Finish type isn't specified in the product data. Inspect it when it arrives and prime or paint if needed before bolting it up to avoid rust at mounting points.

What if I only need the left bracket—can I buy just this one?

Yes, this is sold as a single left-side bracket. If your bumper assembly also needs the right bracket, order that separately.
