Can I paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes. Sand and prep each panel individually before applying your chosen finish. This approach lets you match color and clear coat without the panels assembled, making masking and coverage easier.

Do I need gap filler or seam tape where pieces meet?

No. The kit is designed to fit flush at all seams. Small gaps may appear depending on panel alignment — these are filled during the paint stage with standard body filler and primer.

Will this kit work with aftermarket side skirt extensions?

The side skirts in this kit are complete pieces. Verify your jack point access before installation and confirm ground clearance with any lowering setup you have in mind, as the rocker profile will sit lower than stock.
