Composite Fenders
Before you start, please make sure you have the proper safety equipment to avoid potential harm to you and your vehicle.
Installing an aftermarket fender is one of the more difficult tasks as far as body kit installation goes. The installer has to have knowledge of basic auto body panel alignment and adjustment. If you don't think that you are up for the job, a professional technician might be needed for proper alignment.
1. Inspect the factory fender thoroughly. Make sure to check alignment and distance from adjacent panel as you will try to get the aftermarket fender to fit in exactly the same way.
2. Remove the factory fender and splash shield. This task might involve removing adjacent panels like front bumper and rocker panels.
3. Mock up the aftermarket fender and try to get it aligned as close to the original fender location as possible. Some aftermarket fenders might need shaving and/or bending to get proper fitment. If you are not confident in doing so, this will be a good time to take it to a professional.
4. After checking fitment, drill hole to align with all the factory bolts from the original fender. You might also need to attach a few extra screws to get the proper fitment.
5. Install aftermarket fender and splash shield, along with the rest of the parts that was uninstalled during the process. In each step. Make sure double check the fitment, as it may change.
Check door and hood clearances, and make sure all fasteners are secure. And you are done!
