Do I need to paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes. Sand and prep each panel before applying your chosen finish. Painting off-vehicle gives you better coverage and allows proper cure time before mounting. Mask mounting areas to keep them clean for fitment.

What hardware do I need to install this kit?

The kit includes the body panels only. You'll need fasteners and clips compatible with your vehicle's OEM mounting points. Reference your service manual or consult a local shop for the correct hardware spec — mounting varies by bumper design and side skirt attachment method.

Can I install this myself, or should I use a professional?

FRP panels can be installed with basic hand tools and patience. If you're comfortable removing and refitting your bumper and side trim, DIY installation is realistic. For first-time fitment checks and final alignment, having a second set of hands or professional eyes is helpful to ensure flush gaps and proper panel seating.
