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

Paint each panel separately before installation. This ensures even color match, clean seams, and easier handling during the finishing process. Once cured and mounted, you'll have a seamless appearance across all four pieces.

Will I need gap filler or seam tape where the panels meet?

Gap filler or seam tape is recommended where panels join to create a factory-finished look. The kit includes the base panels; finishing materials are separate purchases based on your desired seam profile and paint strategy.

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

Installation is achievable with basic hand tools and mechanical familiarity. The factory mounting points simplify fitment compared to custom panels. If you're new to body panel work, having a second person and taking time to verify alignment before final fastening makes the process much smoother.
