Do I need to paint these panels before installation?

Yes. The panels ship unpainted. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish to ensure proper paint adhesion and a seamless appearance that matches your vehicle's color.

Are fasteners included with the rocker panels?

Hardware is not included. You'll need to source mounting bolts and fasteners appropriate for your vehicle's rocker attachment points. Refer to your vehicle's service manual or the full wide body kit documentation for fastener specifications.

Can these panels be used separately, or do they require the full wide body kit?

These rocker panels must be installed as part of the complete wide body kit. The AF-1 system is engineered as a unified package, so using the rockers alone will not deliver the intended fitment or proportions.
