What fasteners do I need to install these?

Over fenders use the vehicle's existing body bolt holes. You'll need standard automotive fasteners compatible with your OEM mounting points — check your vehicle's service manual or hardware supplier for the correct gauge and length. No special hardware is included with this set.

Do I need to sand and prime before painting?

Yes. Sand the entire surface with appropriate grit to scuff the factory gelcoat, then wipe clean. Apply a quality primer suitable for FRP before your topcoat. The raw FRP condition means the panels arrive unfinished — surface prep is essential for paint adhesion and longevity.

Will these clear my existing tires and suspension?

Over fenders add width to the wheel opening. Verify tire diameter and suspension geometry before installation — measure the current clearance and compare against the fender flare depth. If you've upgraded to wider or taller tires, test fit or reference similar builds to confirm no contact occurs during compression or lock-to-lock steering.
