Do I need to paint all four pieces separately?

Yes. Each panel is shipped separately in raw FRP condition, so you'll want to sand and prep them as individual pieces before applying your chosen finish. This allows you to ensure even color match and coverage across the entire kit.

Will I need gap filler or seam tape between the new panels and my existing body?

Preparation depends on your fitment tolerances. Have your vehicle ready when the kit arrives so you can test-fit each piece and identify any gaps. Standard body shop sealing materials work well if needed after you confirm panel alignment.

Can I install this myself, or should I take it to a shop?

Installation difficulty varies based on your mechanical skill and available tools. This is a panel replacement job that requires proper alignment and fastening. Many builders handle it themselves with basic hand tools; others prefer professional installation to ensure perfect fitment and finish. Evaluate your comfort level with panel removal and alignment before starting.
