Do I need to drill into my factory fenders to install these?

Installation method depends on your chosen mounting strategy. Before drilling, verify existing holes and mounting bosses on your vehicle's fender structure. Reference your vehicle's service manual or consult a qualified installer to confirm fastener locations and thread patterns.

Can I paint these panels with standard automotive paint, or do they require special prep?

Yes, standard automotive paint works on FRP. Sand the surface with appropriate grit, apply your chosen primer if desired, and finish with your selected topcoat. Proper surface preparation before paint ensures long-term adhesion and finish quality.

Will these fenders affect my wheel fitment or tire clearance?

The extended profile adds width to the fender opening. Measure your current wheel and tire setup (width and offset), then verify clearance against the new fender lip before installation. This prevents rub during suspension compression and cornering.
