Can I paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes. Because the kit arrives as individual components, you can finish each piece in your shop before mounting. This often yields cleaner, more even coverage than painting after full installation. Just mask off mounting surfaces before priming and painting.

Does the rear bumper need modification for my exhaust setup?

This kit is designed specifically for dual exhaust configurations. If your current setup differs, measure your exhaust outlets against the bumper cutouts before installation to confirm alignment.

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

Gap sealing depends on your fitment and how closely you space the pieces during installation. Most builders use flexible automotive sealant or gap-filling tape at panel seams for a finished look and to prevent dirt intrusion. This is not included with the kit.
