Do I need to check tire clearance before installing these flares?

Yes. Measure your tire diameter and sidewall height, then verify clearance against the flare profile. The wider stance will extend further out, so confirm your wheel and tire combination fits within the new body lines before final fastening.

What prep work is required before painting?

Sand the surface with appropriate abrasive to promote paint adhesion. Once sanded and cleaned, apply your chosen primer and topcoat per the paint manufacturer's instructions. No additional sealing or undercoating is required on the FRP itself.

Will these flares mount to factory attachment points?

These are designed to work with existing mounting locations. Before installation, inspect your vehicle's rear fender structure and reference your service manual for fastener locations. Use appropriate hardware rated for FRP panel weight to ensure secure attachment.
