Do I need to paint each piece separately or as a complete assembly?

You can paint individual pieces on sawhorses or masking tables before installation, or assemble first and mask seams before painting. Painting separately allows easier access to all surfaces and is often the preferred approach for body kits. Either method works—choose based on your workspace and spray booth setup.

Will I need gap filler or seam tape between the body kit panels and factory body lines?

Proper fitment minimizes gaps, but small seams are common where kit pieces meet OEM panels. Standard auto body seam sealer or gap filler applied during final prep addresses any minor gaps. Verify alignment during a dry fit before committing to fasteners.

Can I install this myself, or do I need a professional?

Installation difficulty depends on your comfort level with drilling, fastening, and panel alignment. The kit itself is straightforward—mounting locations and hardware fastening are standard automotive work. If you've done basic bolt-on modifications before, this is achievable in a home garage with hand tools and patience for proper alignment.
