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

Paint each piece before installation. Masking around tight seams and panel gaps after fitment is time-consuming and risks overspray on adjacent body panels. Finishing all four pieces off the vehicle ensures clean edges and uniform color coverage.

What's the gap between the side skirts and the rocker panels once installed?

Gap depends on your vehicle's OEM bodyline and how the kit is mounted. Before drilling or fastening, test-fit each panel dry and verify alignment with your existing body line. Minor gaps are normal and can be sealed with flexible trim or filler if needed.

Will the kit pieces need seam tape or filler between panels?

This kit does not include seam tape or filler. If you prefer seamless lines after installation, flexible weatherstrip or panel adhesive can fill minor gaps where pieces meet the OEM body. Sand and prep the seam areas before final paint for a finished look.
