Will these skirts affect ground clearance or jack point access?

Side skirts sit flush along the rocker and do not extend below the factory rocker line, so clearance remains unchanged. Verify your jack points against your vehicle's service manual before installation to ensure your lift equipment clears the panels.

Do I need to paint these before installation?

Carbon fiber is bare weave out of the box. We recommend sanding and prepping the surface with a fine grit, then applying your chosen clear coat or paint system. A clear coat protects the weave from UV damage and keeps the finish clean long-term.

How do these mount — are they bolt-on or adhesive?

These are designed for standard bolt-on installation using factory mounting points on the rocker area. Hardware is not included; source fasteners that match your vehicle's OEM rocker attachment specifications.
