aftermarket fenders of the fiberglass veriaty often need a bit of fitting to look and work well. remove material to make the lights fit the way you want then fill the gaps left over and sand some more to make it look good. then paint. just make sure you align the panels as good as possible to save some work with the sanding and filler.. good luck.

some times the holes for the lights will be mis-aligned. when you open then up to fit the light it will somtimes leave gaps at one corner. you need to use some type of filler (bonda, fiber filler etc.) to shape the opening around the light...

its all worth it in the end. just make sure you do it right. when it comes to body work and panel alignment there is no such thing as too much prep before paint.. good luck man.. and post some pics already.. geeeez..


J/K... but really, post some pics..
