Do these bars require any special hardware to install?

They mount directly at factory roof rail points. Verify your vehicle has the OEM roof rails before ordering — installation uses existing attachment locations on the rails themselves.

Can I paint or finish these black bars a different color?

The hard panel finish can be prepped and painted if you want a custom color. Standard automotive prep and paint process applies — sand the existing finish lightly and prime before topcoat.

What's the weight limit for cargo on these bars?

Load capacity depends on your vehicle's roof load rating and how weight is distributed across both bars. Reference your owner's manual for maximum roof load specs and always use proper tie-down equipment rated for your cargo weight.
