Do these fenders require painting before installation?

Yes. These panels ship in raw FRP condition. Sand and prep the surface with your standard finishing method, then apply your chosen paint or clear coat. Proper surface prep ensures long-term finish quality.

What fastening hardware do I need?

The panels are designed to use factory mounting points on your vehicle. You'll need to verify your OEM hardware compatibility before installation—check that existing bolts and clips align with the over-fender holes. Some installations may require additional fasteners depending on your specific setup.

Will these affect tire clearance or fender-to-tire fitment?

Over-fenders extend the body line outward. Verify your tire diameter and suspension height before installing to ensure no contact during compression or at full lock. Test-fit or reference your vehicle's suspension geometry to confirm adequate clearance.
