Does this mount at the factory rocker points, or do I need to drill?

Mounts at factory attachment points — no drilling required. You'll need basic hand tools and a socket set to bolt it on.

Does the bar come painted, or do I need to prep it before install?

Bar ships ready to bolt on as-is. If you want to paint it or add protective coating, test-fit first to confirm clearance and attachment, then remove and finish before final installation.

What about hardware — do I need to buy bolts separately?

Fastening hardware is not included with the bar assembly. Grab bolts, washers, and lock nuts that match your factory rocker-panel holes before you start the install.
