So I have this awesome rear skid plate coming from JO...but I need some help:

What is the best way to finish this to get a good match for the front skid plate that I have from Rowhard? I have the paint already because I am going to refinish the front one as well. I just need some help on how to prep the rear one to look great.

What are the best fasteners to use?

Does anyone have a template for the mounting holes?

Thanks for the help and advice.
