Do I need to sand and prime each piece before painting?

Yes. The kit ships raw FRP, meaning the surface is prepared to accept primer and paint. Sand lightly to ensure adhesion, apply your chosen primer system, and finish with color coat and clear. This modular approach lets you paint each piece separately on sawhorses or a work stand for easier handling.

Can I install this myself, or do I need a shop?

Installation requires basic hand tools and mechanical aptitude. The panels integrate with factory mounting points, so verify your vehicle's latch and fastener locations before drilling. If you're comfortable with jack stands, fastener sizes, and panel alignment, DIY is feasible. A lift and a helper make fitment checks easier and safer.

Will this kit fit my vehicle if it has the optional performance package?

This kit is not compatible with Turbo or GTS variants, which have different chassis geometry and fascia mounting points. Verify your base model configuration before ordering. If you have questions about your specific model year, reference your owner's manual for variant identification.
