Can I paint these panels before installation, or do they need to be installed first?

Either approach works. Many builders prefer painting off-vehicle for cleaner results and easier masking. Sand and prep the primer surface, apply your base coat and clear, then install. If you install first, mask the surrounding areas carefully during painting to keep overspray off the body.

Will these interfere with the factory jack points?

Check your vehicle's jack point location before installation. Depending on your model's jack placement, you may need to verify clearance or adjust the mounting approach. Refer to your service manual to confirm jack point access, and test fitment before final mounting.

What fasteners do I need to secure these panels?

Hardware is not included with the panels. Use corrosion-resistant fasteners appropriate for FRP and your vehicle's mounting holes—stainless steel bolts or self-tapping fasteners work well. Verify the fastener size and torque specs in your service manual to ensure proper fitment and durability.
