Do all 10 pieces need to be painted separately, or can I mask and paint them assembled?

Each piece can be painted individually before installation, which gives cleaner edges and prevents overspray into crevices. Assembly-then-paint works too if you're careful with masking—just plan extra time to protect seams and gaps.

Will I need seam tape or gap filler between pieces?

FRP kits typically benefit from inspection at seam points after dry-fitting. Have flexible gap filler or seam tape on hand during install to seal any visible transitions between panels and the OEM body line.

Does this kit require drilling or modifications to the factory body, or is it a direct bolt-on?

Review fitment against your specific vehicle's mounting points before starting. You may need to evaluate existing fastener holes and potentially adapt hardware based on your current setup. Reference your vehicle's door jamb and rocker documentation during install planning.
