Do I need new fasteners or hardware to install this?

The handle mounts at factory attachment points — existing hardware should work. Check your door's current fasteners before installation; replace any stripped or corroded bolts with equivalent replacements.

Will this handle need painting to match my door?

Finish color is not specified. Test-fit the handle first to confirm match with your door trim. If color correction is needed, light sanding and paint matching at a local shop will ensure seamless integration.

Is this a left or right handle, and can I use it on both sides?

This is the right-side rear door handle only — it will not fit the left side. Order the corresponding left handle if you need both sides replaced.
