Do I need to remove my OEM fenders to install these?

No. These bolt directly over your existing fenders using factory mounting points. You keep the OEM panel in place and layer the over-fender on top, which also gives you a clean removal path if needed down the road.

What prep work is required before painting?

Sand the surface to ensure good paint adhesion, then apply your chosen base coat and clear. The FRP is already sealed and ready to accept primer or paint—no additional stripping or restoration needed.

Will these affect my tire clearance?

Over-fenders add width to the wheel arch opening. Verify tire diameter and offset against your current setup before installation to ensure no contact during suspension articulation or full lock turns.
