Do I need to paint each piece separately before installation?

You can paint the pieces on or off the vehicle — both approaches work. Painting separately before install gives you better control over coverage and dry time; painting after installation lets you blend seams more seamlessly. Either way, sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish.

Does this kit include mounting hardware and fasteners?

The kit includes the body panels themselves. Verify your vehicle's existing mounting points and hardware compatibility before ordering fasteners — many builders reuse OEM brackets or source hardware based on their specific installation approach.

Will gap filler or seam tape be needed between the pieces?

Gap management depends on your panel fitment and installation method. Have your vehicle ready during assembly so you can check panel alignment and plan for filler, tape, or gaskets based on actual gap size rather than assumptions.
