Do I need fasteners to mount these over fenders?

Yes. These panels use factory mounting points, so you'll need bolts and hardware to secure them. Verify your existing fastener size and condition before installation — you may reuse OEM hardware or upgrade to stainless steel bolts for added durability.

What prep work is required before painting?

Sand the primer surface with standard automotive sandpaper to scuff the finish and remove any dust or debris. This ensures your base coat adheres properly. After sanding, wipe down with a tack cloth and apply your chosen finish system — primer, base, and clear — per your paint manufacturer's instructions.

Will these panels affect my wheel fitment or tire clearance?

Over fenders extend the bodyline outward. Measure your current tire width and rim offset, then compare against the panel profile before installation. If you're running an aggressive wheel-and-tire combo, verify clearance at full suspension droop to avoid rubbing.
