Do I need to paint each piece separately or as an assembled kit?

Each piece can be painted independently before installation, which gives you more control and cleaner results. Many builders prefer to prep and paint off the vehicle, then install once cured. You can also mask and paint on the car if your setup allows — either approach works with FRP.

Will I need filler or seam tape where the pieces meet the factory panels?

FRP panels are designed for clean fitment to OEM body lines. Depending on your specific vehicle's panel gaps and your tolerance for seam visibility, you may choose to use gap filler or flexible caulk at seams for a seamless look — this is optional and based on your finish preference.

Is professional installation required, or can I handle this myself?

FRP body kits are designed for DIY installation with basic hand tools and a socket set. You'll need to locate and work with your vehicle's factory mounting points. Take time to dry-fit each piece before final fastening to ensure proper alignment and gap consistency across all panels.
