Do these pieces come already assembled or as individual panels?

The kit ships as four separate pieces. This allows you to install each panel individually and ensures proper fitment around your vehicle's existing body lines. You'll handle the installation sequence, not pre-assembled sub-assemblies.

Can I paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes. Since the kit arrives in raw FRP condition, you can sand, prep, and paint each of the four pieces off the vehicle before mounting them. This approach often yields cleaner results and easier handling during the paint process.

Will seams between panels need gap filler or seam tape?

Panel gaps depend on your installation and how closely you match OEM panel alignment. For any visible seams after installation, standard automotive gap filler or flexible seam sealer applied after painting will close and blend them. Use products rated for plastic substrates.
