Do these fenders require drilling or cutting into the original body?

No. Over-fenders bolt directly to existing factory mounting points. Verify your vehicle's OEM fender hole locations before assembly to ensure alignment.

What prep work is needed before paint?

Sand the surface with appropriate grit to promote adhesion, then clean off dust before applying primer and topcoat. Follow your chosen paint system's prep guidelines for best results.

Can I install these myself with standard hand tools?

Yes. The panels bolt to factory points, so basic tools and a helper make the job straightforward. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for fastener specifications and torque values.
