Does this kit come with all 8 pieces ready to install?

Yes, the complete 8-piece kit arrives as one set. You'll receive all the body panels needed for this style; verify the specific piece breakdown against your build plan and compare against OEM part counts if you're replacing specific panels.

Can I paint each panel separately before assembly?

Absolutely. Since the kit Requires Surface Prep, you can sand and prep each panel individually, then paint them separately before final installation. This approach works well for custom color matching and ensures even coverage across all pieces.

Will I need seam tape or gap filler between the panels?

Once installed, panel gaps should be minimal if fitment is tight. Check all seams after dry-fitting; use appropriate filler or seam tape on any visible gaps before priming and painting to achieve a seamless final appearance.
