Vendor catalog record promoted for browsing. Final fitment, install dependencies, and shopper selection still require review before checkout.

For bolt-on parts, the last check is the exact vehicle and option setup: year/model/trim, sensors or cameras, lights, winch or recovery plan, finish, related brackets, and whether the customer is installing it or sending it to a shop.
