Do I need to prep and paint this before installing?

The housing comes in black and is ready for paint. Clean with degreaser, scuff with fine grit, prime, and color-match to your car—standard body panel prep applies here.

Will this plug straight into my 350Z's wiring?

Yes. OEM connector and pin layout match factory harness—no adapter or rewiring needed. Control functions through your existing dash switch.

Do I need new hardware to bolt this on?

Mounting hardware not included—verify fastener condition on your door before install. Most jobs reuse factory bolts if they're in good shape.
