Will these panels affect jack point access?

Verify your vehicle's OEM jack point location before installation. If clearance is tight, test-fit the panels dry and mark any areas that may contact the jack pad. You may need to trim or modify the panel slightly around the jack point — sand and shape as needed for safe access.

Do I need to paint these before installing, or can I install them raw?

These panels ship in raw FRP condition. Sand the surface lightly with 220-grit or higher to promote adhesion, then apply your primer and color coat of choice before or after installation — either sequence works. If you install first, mask around the mounting hardware to keep paint off fastener points.

What hardware do I need to mount these panels?

The panels are designed to use existing factory rocker attachment points. Source bolts, clips, or fasteners that match your vehicle's OEM rocker hardware diameter and thread pitch. Check your service manual or OEM parts diagram for the correct fastener spec — this ensures a secure fit that won't rattle or shift over time.
