Do I need to paint each piece separately, or can I paint them assembled?

Paint each piece separately before final assembly. This ensures even color coverage and clean seams where panels meet. Once cured, assemble and seal the gaps with your preferred trim or adhesive.

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

Yes. Between the panels, use flexible urethane trim, aluminum channel, or seam sealer designed for automotive FRP. Check your fitment against OEM mounting points — slight gaps are normal and filled this way, not adjusted by force.

Can I install this kit myself, or do I need a professional?

DIY installation is possible with basic hand tools and mechanical aptitude. Test-fit all pieces before any fastening, and reference your vehicle's factory anchor points for drilling and alignment. If you're unfamiliar with panel fitment, professional installation is worth the investment to avoid costly rework.
