Does this bolt directly to factory mounting points?

Yes. This bracket uses existing Ram 1500 attachment locations — no drilling, hole modification, or welding needed. Standard fasteners work with the factory points.

What fasteners do I need to install this?

The bracket itself is included. You'll need bolts, washers, and hardware to secure it to your truck and attach the license plate — these are not included. Most installs use standard metric or SAE fasteners from your local hardware store.

Does this need paint or prep before installation?

The bracket arrives ready to install as-is. If you want to paint it to match your truck, light surface prep and primer work the same as any metal bracket — no special treatment required.
