Do I need to paint each piece separately or can I assemble first?

Paint each piece separately before installation. raw FRP accepts paint better when laid flat, and you'll achieve cleaner coverage on seams and edges. Assembly after paint ensures proper fitment without masking complications.

What about seams between the bumpers and side skirts?

Clean seam lines are achievable with proper gap alignment during installation. Apply seam sealer or panel adhesive to any gaps between kit pieces before final paint, then wet-sand and feather the seams for a factory-smooth transition.

Do I need professional installation or can I do this myself?

This kit is designed for DIY installation with basic hand tools and hardware fasteners. Verify mounting point locations on your vehicle before starting, and take time aligning each panel for even gaps. If you're unfamiliar with body panel work, a shop install ensures proper fitment and finish work.
