Does this bolt directly to my tailgate without modification?

Yes. It mounts at factory attachment points — no drilling, cutting, or welding. Use your OEM fasteners or standard hardware rated for exterior truck panels.

Can I paint this after installation?

The molding ships in raw condition and can be prepped and painted to match your truck. Sand and prime before applying your finish coat.

What if this doesn't fit right when it arrives?

Test-fit it against your tailgate before committing fasteners. If there's a gap or misalignment, contact support with photos — we stand behind our fit.
