Do I need the left-side handle too, or can I buy just the right?

You can buy this right handle on its own — many owners refresh one side at a time. If you need both sides, the left handle is listed separately.

Will this bolt straight onto my door, or do I need new holes?

This uses factory mounting points — no drilling. Line it up with the existing holes on your door and bolt it down.

Does the smooth black finish need any prep before install?

The handle ships ready to install. Wipe it down before mounting to remove any dust, then bolt it on. No sanding or primer work required.
