Do I need to drill or cut my factory fenders to install these?

No. These are bolt-on over fenders that sit on top of your existing bodywork. Your factory fenders stay intact — there's no permanent modification. Just verify your panel mounting points align with the factory holes before final tightening.

What prep work is required before painting?

Sand the surface smooth and clean off any dust or debris. Use your preferred automotive primer and paint system to finish. FRP takes paint well once the surface is properly prepped — treat it the same way you would any other panel you're finishing.

Will tire fitment be affected by these wider fenders?

These panels extend outward from your factory line. Check your wheel offset and tire size against the new fender profile before installation to confirm adequate clearance. If you're running larger wheels or aggressive offsets, test fit is recommended.
