Do I need to paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes. Paint all four pieces before bolting them to your vehicle. This gives you complete control over finish quality, allows for seamless blending, and prevents overspray damage to your body panels. Sand the surface, apply base coat and clear to all four pieces in a controlled environment, then install once fully cured.

Will I need seam tape or gap filler between the kit pieces and my existing panels?

Not necessarily. FRP kits are engineered for tight fitment at factory seam lines. Depending on your body panel condition and installation precision, you may want flexible sealant along the transition areas for a finished look and to prevent dirt accumulation. Test-fit all pieces before final assembly to confirm gaps.

Does this kit include all mounting hardware?

The kit includes the four body panels. Verify that your vehicle's OEM fastener locations align with the mounting bosses on each piece. You may need additional hardware depending on your existing body panel condition and the fastener pattern. Reference your vehicle's service manual or a professional installer to confirm requirements.
