Will these side skirts block access to my jack points?

No. These skirts mount to the rocker line above the factory jack point locations. Before final installation, identify your vehicle's OEM jack point holes and verify ground clearance under the skirt edge — sand or trim the lower edge if needed to keep lifting points accessible.

Do I need to paint these before installing them, or can I bolt them on raw?

You'll want to sand and prep the surface, then apply your chosen primer and paint before bolting them down. FRP ships ready for finishing — the smoother the prep work, the better the paint adhesion and final appearance. Skipping paint will expose the raw plastic to UV and dirt over time.

How much ground clearance do these add to the side of my car?

These skirts follow the factory rocker contour and add minimal extension downward. They sit close to the body line when properly aligned. Check your driveway angle and any speed bumps you regularly encounter — if you run lowered suspension, test fit before final bolting to ensure the skirt edge clears obstacles you drive over daily.
