Will this bolt straight on using the factory mounting holes?

Yes — this molding mounts at factory attachment points with no drilling or modifications required. Use the existing holes on your tailgate.

Do I need to prep or paint this before installation?

The molding ships ready to install. If your tailgate has surface damage or rust, address that first so the new molding sits flush against clean metal.

What fasteners or hardware do I need to secure this?

Mounting hardware is not included — inspect your factory tailgate attachment points and use equivalent bolts or clips from the original molding, or source standard fasteners that fit your mounting holes.
