Can I paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes. Painting and prepping each piece individually before final assembly is a common approach and gives you better control over finish quality. Sand all surfaces and apply your chosen primer and paint system before mounting the kit to your vehicle.

Do I need gap filler or seam tape where the pieces meet?

Depending on your finish preference and fitment tightness, some builders use urethane seam sealer or gap-filler at panel seams for a seamless look. This is optional but recommended if you want a factory-tight appearance between the four pieces.

What tools and skill level do I need to install this kit?

Installation requires basic hand tools and either fastening hardware from your vehicle's OEM mounting points or an adhesive system designed for plastic body panels. Verify your vehicle's mounting configuration and have all fasteners or adhesive on hand before starting. Professional install is always an option if you prefer expert fitment.
