Do these mount at factory attachment points or do I need to drill?

They're designed to use existing factory rocker panel mounting locations — no drilling or modification required. You'll bolt them directly to the frame.

What tools and fasteners do I need to install these?

Basic hand tools (wrench, socket set) are all you need. Mounting hardware is not included — verify your vehicle's factory bolt size and pitch before purchase.

Can I paint over the black finish or does it need prep work?

The powder coat is a finished surface ready to use as-is. If you want to customize the color, light scuffing and primer will help adhesion for your paint choice.
