Can I paint each piece separately or does the kit need to be assembled first?

Paint each piece before installation. This lets you tape and mask seams cleanly, and ensures even color coverage across all four components. Sand the surface, apply your base coat and clear, then bolt everything on.

Will I need filler strips or seam tape where the pieces meet?

Gap treatment depends on your fitment and how tight the seams are. Many builders use color-matched flexible sealant at panel joints for a finished look. Test-fit first to see where gaps occur, then decide on your sealing approach.

How many mounting bolts or fasteners come with the kit?

The kit ships with the body panels only. Verify your existing OEM mounting points before assembly — most installs reuse factory hole locations. Source fasteners based on your bolt pattern and thread size.
