Will these panels cover my factory jack points?

Factory jack points vary by chassis location. Before installation, identify your OEM jack points on the rocker and verify clearance against the panel geometry. You can modify panel access if needed, or confirm fitment with your vehicle's service manual.

Do I need to remove the panels to access the rocker area after install?

These panels mount to existing rocker attachment points. Once installed, rocker access depends on your specific bolt and clamp configuration — plan your hardware strategy during the prep phase to ensure future serviceability if needed.

How much preparation is required before painting?

Sand the surface with appropriate grit to create a smooth base, then clean thoroughly to remove dust and debris. Follow your paint manufacturer's prep recommendations for topcoat adhesion and finish quality.
