Do I need to sand this before painting?

Yes. The kit Requires Surface Prep, which means it's been sanded for paint adhesion. Before applying primer and your chosen topcoat, lightly sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to ensure a clean, dust-free foundation.

What fasteners or hardware do I need to install this kit?

The kit itself does not include installation hardware. You'll need to source bolts, clips, or fasteners compatible with your vehicle's factory mounting locations. Refer to your service manual or body shop for OEM fastener specifications and torque values.

How do I prep the panels before I install them?

Before installation, sand the mounting surfaces lightly to remove any gloss and improve mechanical grip. Inspect all mounting points on your vehicle to confirm alignment and fit. Test-fit each panel dry first to identify any gaps or adjustments needed, then remove, paint, and install once your topcoat is fully cured.
