Will these require painting before installation?

Yes. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish. FRP panels benefit from a quality primer and topcoat system to match your vehicle's paint and ensure long-term UV protection.

Do these panels require drilling into the body for mounting?

Mounting method depends on your vehicle's existing rocker attachment points. Verify your OEM body panel hole locations before beginning installation. Some builds use factory fastener locations; others may require additional preparation.

How do these compare to OEM side skirts in weight?

FRP is significantly lighter than factory steel rocker panels. This contributes to overall weight reduction without sacrificing structural integrity or visual integration with the body.
