Do I need to prep and paint each piece separately?

Yes. Sand each panel with the appropriate grit to promote paint adhesion, then apply primer and your chosen finish. Painting pieces off the vehicle allows for even coverage and easier handling before final installation.

What's the best way to handle the seams where pieces meet?

After installation, seams can be sealed with flexible gap filler or seam tape rated for automotive use. This keeps water and debris out and creates a finished appearance. Apply your filler before final paint blending if needed.

How many fastening points does this kit use?

The exact fastening point locations depend on your vehicle's factory mounting structure. Before drilling or fastening, reference your vehicle's OEM panel hole locations and suspension geometry to ensure proper alignment and clearance.
