Will this bolt to the factory mounting points without drilling?

Yes. This assembly uses the original grille mounting locations on your Cherokee—no drilling, no frame modifications. Test-fit before final tightening to confirm alignment.

Does this need paint or prep before I install it?

It comes finished in black, so it's ready to bolt on as-is. If you want a different color or a custom look, light sanding and a quality automotive paint will prepare it for refinishing.

What fasteners do I need to mount it?

Hardware is not included with this assembly. You'll use the original bolts or clips from your existing grille—source new fasteners from your Jeep's parts manual if yours are stripped or missing.
