Do I need to prep and paint these before installing?

Yes. These ship in raw FRP condition—sand the surface lightly and apply your chosen primer and topcoat before installation. This ensures a smooth finish and proper adhesion at panel seams.

What fasteners or hardware do I need?

The fenders themselves are included; verify your vehicle's OEM mounting points and obtain appropriate hardware (bolts, clips) based on your factory attachment method. Your service manual will specify the correct fastener type and torque values.

Will the panel gaps line up with my stock fenders?

Panel alignment depends on careful fitment and shim adjustment during installation. The two-piece design lets you adjust each side independently. Test-fit before final tightening and use shims if needed to match your original fender gap.
