I was wondering, when you guys put on the L5'S are you getting away with just painting the fenders, or are you doing a repaint. My paint is perfect, don't want to re paint or blend. I hope these go on without to much trouble. Thanks...

Yes, but they will likely tell you they need to blend into the doors, trunk, rockers and roofline and then clear everything from the doors back. You might be able to get away with just painting the quarter panel if you have a non-metallic color.
