Frequently Asked Questions About International 9300/9370 Front Fenders & Acc.

Will these fenders fit my specific International 9300 or 9370 model year?

Our International 9300/9370 fenders are designed to fit models from 1987 through 2007. However, there are slight variations between early models (1987-1999) and later models (2000-2007), particularly in mounting hole patterns and headlight cutouts. We recommend verifying your truck's exact year and checking the product specifications or contacting our support team with your VIN to ensure proper fitment before ordering.

What's the difference between aftermarket and OEM fenders in terms of quality and durability?

Our aftermarket fenders are manufactured from 16-gauge steel, matching OEM specifications for thickness and durability. The main differences you'll find are in price (aftermarket options cost 40-60% less) and minor details like bracket placement tolerances. Many customers report our aftermarket fenders lasting just as long as OEM parts when properly installed and maintained. All fenders come with a primer coating that requires painting to match your truck.

How difficult is the installation process, and what tools will I need?

Installation typically takes 2-4 hours per fender for someone with moderate mechanical experience. You'll need basic hand tools including socket sets (typically 13mm, 15mm, and 18mm), a drill with metal bits for any bracket adjustments, and ideally a helper to hold the fender in place during mounting. Common challenges include aligning mounting holes (some minor drilling may be required) and disconnecting/reconnecting headlight wiring. Professional installation usually runs $150-300 per fender if you prefer to have it done.

Do these fenders come painted, and what finish options are available?

All fenders ship with a black primer finish only and will require painting to match your truck. We do not offer pre-painted options due to the wide variety of International paint codes and custom colors. The primer provides excellent rust protection during shipping and storage, but you should plan to have them painted within 30-60 days of installation. Most body shops charge $200-400 per fender for professional color matching and painting.

What's included with the fender purchase, and what additional parts might I need?

Each fender comes as the bare metal component with primer coating. Mounting brackets, bolts, and hardware are sold separately as these often vary by specific model configuration. You may also need fender liners ($75-150), mudflaps ($30-80), and new mounting hardware kits ($25-50) depending on the condition of your existing components. Headlight buckets and trim pieces are not included and must be transferred from your old fenders or purchased separately.
