Do these fenders require any prep before painting?

Yes — sand the surface with appropriate abrasive to promote paint adhesion, then clean off all dust before applying your chosen base coat and clear. Follow your paint system manufacturer's instructions for surface prep and primer compatibility.

What hardware do I need to install these?

These panels are over-fenders designed to mount over your existing front fenders. You'll need to source fasteners appropriate for your mounting approach — whether self-tapping screws, rivets, or adhesive-backed fasteners. Reference your vehicle's body structure and your preferred attachment method to determine the right hardware for your setup.

Will the stock hood and doors still open and close normally?

Yes. Over-fenders bolt on outside the original body line and do not interfere with hood operation or door clearance. Verify fender-to-hood gap and door-to-fender clearance during test-fit to ensure your specific vehicle geometry accommodates the added width.
