Will this bolt directly to my tailgate without modification?

This molding is engineered for factory mounting points on the Raptor tailgate. Test-fit before permanent installation to confirm alignment with your specific truck's tailgate condition.

Do I need to paint this before installing?

The molding ships in hard panel form ready for finishing. Paint or coating prep depends on your desired final look—most buyers match it to their tailgate color or leave it body-color matched by a shop.

What hardware comes with this?

The molding assembly is included. Fasteners and installation hardware are not confirmed in this package—verify mounting method with your service manual or have a shop confirm fitment before ordering fasteners.
