Do I need to drill or modify my vehicle to install this?

No. This bar mounts at factory attachment points — no drilling or cutting required. You'll use your vehicle's existing mounting locations.

Does the black finish need prep work before installation?

The powder coat is ready to install as-is. If you prefer to touch up or repaint, light scuffing with fine-grit sandpaper and a compatible primer will bond new paint to the existing finish.

What hardware do I need to bolt this on?

The bar itself is included. You'll need fasteners appropriate for your vehicle's factory mounting points — check your service manual or have a technician confirm the bolt size and torque spec before assembly.
