Will these panels interfere with my jack points?

These are rocker-mounted skirts. Before installation, verify your vehicle's jack point locations relative to the panel profile. You may need to use jack adapters or lift pads that bridge over the skirt lip — consult your service manual for OEM jack point dimensions and spacing.

Should I paint before or after bolting them on?

Paint after installation. Once bolted in place, you can mask the body gaps cleanly, sand, prime, and spray everything in one pass. This eliminates edge-matching frustration and ensures a seamless blend with your existing finish.

What prep work do I need before painting?

Sand the surface with 220–320 grit to scuff the gelcoat and improve paint adhesion. Clean thoroughly to remove all dust and mold release residue. Apply your choice of automotive primer and topcoat per manufacturer specifications.
