Can I paint these, or do they come pre-finished?

These ship in primer-ready finish. Light sanding and a coat of your choice color gets them match-ready. If you're keeping them as-is, the hard panel material handles exposure well, but paint protects against UV over time.

Do these bolt straight to factory holes?

Yes — they mount at factory rocker points with no drilling needed. You'll need basic fasteners (check your service manual for size and torque spec), but the hard points are already there.

What tools do I need to install these?

Standard socket set and a jack to lift the truck safely. Installation takes a couple hours if you're methodical. No special alignment tools required — factory points make fitment straightforward.
