Do I need to paint each piece separately before installation?

You can paint before or after installation — either method works. Painting off-car makes handling easier and gives you cleaner seams, but requires masking and careful reassembly. Paint on-car after full installation if you prefer a seamless final finish. Sand and prep primer surface thoroughly before applying your chosen color and clear coat.

Will I need gap filler or seam tape where the pieces meet?

Gap filler or flexible seam sealer is recommended at all panel joints — particularly where side skirts meet bumper sections. This step prevents water intrusion and creates a finished appearance. Apply filler during final assembly, before painting the complete kit.

How many fastening points does the kit use, and what hardware do I need?

The four-piece kit uses standard body panel mounting locations aligned with OEM hole patterns. You'll need appropriate fasteners (bolts, clips, or self-tapping screws) to secure each section — verify your vehicle's specific mounting configuration before purchasing fasteners separately, as hardware is not included in the kit.
