Do I need to paint each piece separately, or can I assemble first?

Paint before final assembly. surfaces are easiest to finish individually — you'll get cleaner seams and better coverage on all edges. Once cured, mount pieces to your vehicle using factory or provided mounting hardware.

Will this kit require any cutting or drilling into my car?

No. This kit bolts to factory mounting points without modification. Before installation, confirm your vehicle's OEM attachment locations match the kit's bolt patterns to ensure proper fitment and gap alignment.

Is seam tape or gap filler needed between the pieces and factory body panels?

Not required, but recommended where the kit meets OEM panels. Use flexible seam tape or adhesive-backed gap filler along any transition lines to manage water runoff and tighten the finished appearance. Sand and prime any exposed filler before topcoat.
