Do I need fasteners or mounting hardware to install this?

The panel ships without fasteners. Source stainless steel bolts or clamps compatible with your vehicle's existing roof frame. Check your OEM service manual or measure the factory mounting points before ordering hardware — this ensures proper fitment to your specific setup.

What prep and paint process should I follow before installation?

Sand and prep the FRP surface thoroughly with standard automotive abrasives. Apply your chosen primer and topcoat system — polyurethane, acrylic, or urethane-based automotive paints all adhere well to properly prepped FRP. Allow cure time between coats per paint manufacturer specs.

Will this fit my vehicle if it originally had a different roof style?

This targa panel is engineered for vehicles that came equipped with removable or hard-top roof configurations. Verify your vehicle's factory roof mounting points and frame geometry match the targa design before purchase. If your car originally had a fixed soft-top or convertible roof, consult the fitment details or a specialist to confirm compatibility.
