Do I need to sand and prime this before painting?

Yes. Sand the surface with medium-grit sandpaper and wipe clean before applying your chosen topcoat. This ensures proper paint adhesion and a clean finish.

What fastening hardware is required for installation?

This piece integrates with your existing mounting points at the roofline. Verify your vehicle's OEM fastener locations and holes before install. Standard automotive fasteners (bolts or self-tapping screws) secure the brow to the factory structure — consult your vehicle's service manual for torque specifications if applicable.

The Hawkley profile is designed to sit above the windshield line. Measure your headlight height and any roof-mounted accessories before installation to confirm clearance with your specific setup.
