Will these side skirts interfere with my jack points?

These skirts are designed to clear factory jack points. Before installation, verify your vehicle's OEM jack pad locations and test fitment in the critical zones—most CPR-style skirts sit slightly inboard and won't obstruct access. If you use aftermarket jacking equipment, measure your contact points against the skirt profile.

Do I need to sand these before painting?

Yes. Sand the entire surface to remove mold release and create tooth for primer adhesion. Once sanded and cleaned, apply primer and your finish coat of choice. The raw FRP condition means you start here—no additional prep beyond standard bodywork practice.

How do these bolt on compared to adhesive-only side skirts?

These skirts use factory mounting points for mechanical attachment, which is more reliable than adhesive alone. You'll work with existing holes and brackets on the vehicle—no drilling required if your car retains OEM hardware. Combine fasteners with quality automotive adhesive for maximum durability in harsh conditions.
