Do I need to sand and prep these before painting?

Yes. Sand the primer surface lightly to improve paint adhesion, then clean thoroughly to remove dust. This ensures your topcoat bonds properly and delivers the finish you're after.

Will these clear my tires without rubbing?

The GT500 V3 profile is designed for fitment with OEM suspension geometry. Verify tire width and sidewall height against your specific setup before final installation — wider or taller tires may require minor trimming depending on suspension ride height.

What fasteners or hardware do I need for installation?

These panels mount at factory locations. Confirm your vehicle's OEM fastener specification and obtain hardware rated for the panel weight before installation. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for torque values and fastener type.
