Do I need to trim anything to install these fenders?

Yes. The frame under the top fender louvers requires trimming to accommodate the over-fender mounting. This is a straightforward cut that you can make with basic hand tools — plan time for this step before final fitment.

What prep work is needed before painting?

Sand the surface to your chosen paint system's specifications. Once prepped, you can apply your selected primer and topcoat. Always reference your paint manufacturer's surface prep guide for best adhesion and finish quality.

Can I install these myself, or do I need a shop?

Installation is achievable with basic hand tools and mechanical familiarity. The two-piece design makes it easier to test-fit and adjust each side before final fastening. Take time to mock up and verify body gaps before drilling or fastening anything permanently.
