Do I need to sand and prep before painting?

Yes. Sand the surface lightly to remove any dust or imperfections, then apply your chosen basecoat and clear coat. Light prep ensures proper paint adhesion and a professional finish.

Will these pieces align with my existing rear body panel?

These are designed as direct fitment add-ons. Before installation, verify that your vehicle's rear panel is straight and damage-free. Any dents or misalignment in the OEM panel will affect how the add-ons sit. Test-fit before final fastening.

What fasteners do I need to install these?

This set does not include mounting hardware. You'll need to source fasteners based on your vehicle's mounting points — typically self-tapping screws or bolts depending on your bumper and panel construction. Refer to your vehicle's service manual or rear panel configuration to determine the correct fastener type and size.
