Do these bolt directly to the factory fender, or do I need to modify the original panels?

These are designed as bolt-on over fenders that stack on top of the existing fender. No cutting or grinding required — they integrate with factory mounting points for a clean installation. Verify bolt hole alignment with your specific vehicle setup before final fastening.

What prep work should I do before painting?

Sand the surface with appropriate grit to remove gloss and ensure paint adhesion, then wipe clean of dust. Apply your chosen primer and topcoat per the paint manufacturer's instructions. FRP accepts both single-stage and multi-stage finishes when properly prepped.

Will these fenders clear my wheel and tire setup?

The wider body design adds extension at the wheel opening. Measure your current tire diameter and offset, then verify clearance with your chosen wheel fitment before installation. Test fit or mock-up with the vehicle at ride height to confirm no rubbing under compression and turning.
