Do I need fasteners or hardware to install this grille?

Installation hardware is not confirmed with this assembly. Before ordering, verify your vehicle's factory attachment method—most GMC trucks from this era use clips or bolts at the core support. Have those fasteners on hand or confirm they're included when your grille arrives.

Does this grille need to be painted before installation?

That depends on the finish you receive and your preference. If it arrives unpainted or in primer, you'll want to prep and paint it to match your truck before bolting it on. If it comes color-matched or finished, you can install it as-is.

Will this fit my truck without cutting or drilling?

This assembly is engineered for direct factory mounting—no drilling required. It mounts at OEM attachment points, so test-fit it first to confirm alignment before final installation.
