Will these boards rust or corrode over time?

Aluminum naturally resists rust, and the black powder-coat finish adds an extra protection layer against salt, moisture, and UV exposure. You'll maintain the finish longer than steel alternatives.

Do I need special hardware or brackets to install these?

These mount at factory points, so you're using existing attachment locations on your vehicle. Confirm your hardware setup before installation — you may need fasteners depending on your current setup.

Can the powder coat scratch or chip during installation?

The finish can mark if dragged across rough surfaces during install. Lay a towel or blanket where the boards will rest, and handle them with care during fitment. Minor touch-ups can address small chips.
