Do I need to paint these before installation?

These panels ship in raw FRP condition. Sand the surface with fine-grit paper and apply your chosen base coat and clear coat. Proper surface prep ensures paint adhesion and a factory-finish appearance.

Will I need additional fasteners to mount these?

The panels are designed around factory mounting points. Verify your vehicle's existing fastener locations before installation to confirm what hardware you'll need — your service manual or a pre-install mock-fit will clarify the exact bolt count and size.

How do these handle UV exposure and weather?

FRP resists UV degradation through gelcoat protection. Maintain the finish with a quality automotive wax or UV-protective sealant after painting to maximize longevity and keep the painted surface looking fresh.
