Do I need to sand and prep this before painting?

Yes. Sand the surface lightly with appropriate grit to open the finish, then wipe clean before applying your chosen base coat and clear. This ensures proper paint adhesion and a smooth final result.

Will this scoop affect side mirror or door operation?

The CVX profile is designed to sit forward of the door panel and follow the body line. Verify clearance with your specific vehicle's door and mirror geometry before final installation, especially if you've made other body modifications.

What fasteners do I need to mount this?

The scoop uses factory mounting points on the body side. Consult your vehicle's service manual or an installation guide specific to this model year to confirm bolt size and torque specifications for secure mounting.
