What prep work is needed before I paint this grille?

Sand the surface with your preferred grit to smooth out any texture, then wipe down with a clean cloth to remove dust. Apply your paint system directly after prep — no additional primer is needed since the grille ships raw FRP.

Will this grille use my factory mounting hardware?

Yes. The grille is designed around factory mounting points, so your existing hardware will align. Verify bolt hole spacing on your chassis before final installation to ensure a flush fit.

Do I need to modify anything on my car to install this grille?

No modifications are required. The GT1 profile uses the same mounting locations as the OEM grille, making it a true bolt-on replacement. Remove the old grille and secure the new one using the existing fastening points.
