Do I need to paint each piece separately, or can I install first then paint?

Each piece can be painted on the car post-installation if you're careful with masking, or removed and painted before assembly. Painting off the car gives cleaner results and easier edge coverage. Either approach works — your preference depends on workspace and spray setup.

Will this kit work with my existing bumper hardware and latch points?

The M-1 kit uses OEM-style mounting holes on the chassis. Verify your mounting point locations match a standard S13 chassis before ordering. If your vehicle has been modified or welded, reference the factory hole locations to ensure proper fitment and secure installation.

Do the side skirts interfere with jack points or suspension access?

The M-1 side skirts extend lower than stock. Check your vehicle's jack point location and any suspension work you plan before final install. Low-offset wheels and lowered suspension setups should verify ground clearance on the rocker extension — some fitment tweaking or slight trimming may be needed depending on ride height.
