Do these bolt directly to factory mounting points, or do I need to drill?

These mount at existing factory rocker points — no drilling required. Bolt-on design keeps installation straightforward.

Will chrome scratch or chip during normal use?

Chrome can show swirl marks from washing and minor scuffs from road debris. Frequent rinsing and soft-cloth drying will keep them looking sharp. Deep impacts can expose base metal, though the plating is durable under normal driving.

What tools do I need to install these?

Basic hand tools — wrench set and socket — are all you need. Hardware and torque specs should match your truck's service manual for rocker-mounted components.
