Does this grille come with mounting hardware?

The grille assembly itself is included. Fasteners for attachment to your truck's existing mounting points are not confirmed — verify your current hardware before installation or have basic hardware on hand.

Will I need to prep or paint this before installing?

The grille ships ready to bolt on as-is. If you want a custom finish or color match, light sanding and automotive-grade paint will prepare it; otherwise, it installs straight out of the box.

Can I install this myself without special tools?

Yes. It bolts to your factory grille mounting points with basic hand tools — no drilling, cutting, or welding required. The job takes under an hour on most C/K trucks.
