Has anyone installed the ADV Fiberglass fenders yet? Looks relatively straight forward, but curious if there are any lessons learned, how to prep for paint etc.

I have not, but they come with a coat of white paint and do not match stock liners. So you should get outta some prep costs with a local body shop for painting if you can get em painted without installing them. The fender liners you have to call ADV to get right now, but they'll pop up on the website soon (next few weeks according to them). I've seen a few folks on Instagram trying to make their stock liners work so maybe there's hope there if you don't wanna buy their liners. I just pulled the trigger on their liners so I'll probably stop by their shop mid-to-late Feb to pick up flares and liners. I'm having a shop paint the fenders before install and I'll use herculiner for the liners since I could care less if I do a less-than-perfect job.

Good luck!

Thanks. I’m getting the entire bronco painted, so I’m glad to have less prep on the fenders. I noticed they came with a little bit of a bumpy primed surface, but it’s nothing a scuff pad or some sand paper can’t take care of real quick. I didn’t even think about the liners, so I’ll need to get those ordered, appreciate the heads up on that.

Would you not paint these before you put them on?

I have never installed fiberglass, but I think you have to test fit them first, then remove and paint, then final install. Because they might need minor adjustments and trimming.

That’s what I assume also

Going with an old school vibe. This is my inspiration. Brittany Blue body, leaving the roll cage white. Chrome wheels and grille.
