Do I need to paint each piece separately or can I assemble and paint as one unit?

Paint before final assembly. This gives you cleaner, more uniform coverage and prevents finish buildup at panel seams. Sand and prep the primer surface, apply your chosen topcoat, then install each component on the vehicle.

Will I need additional seam tape or gap filler between kit pieces?

The kit pieces are designed to fit with minimal gaps at factory mounting points. Whether you use seam tape or adhesive depends on your finish preference — some builders seal for weatherproofing, others leave natural gaps for a cleaner line. Plan your assembly strategy before painting.

Is this kit designed for bolt-on installation or do I need cutting and modification?

Verify fitment against your vehicle's factory panel lines and mounting points before final install. Some slight trimming or shaping may be required depending on your specific vehicle condition and desired fitment tolerance. Test-fit the pieces dry first to confirm alignment with your setup.
