Do I need to paint each piece separately before installation, or can I assemble and paint as a unit?

Paint before installation. Masking off seams and gaps after assembly wastes material and creates uneven coverage. Sand the primer, paint all four pieces off the vehicle, then mount after the finish cures — this gives you the cleanest result and easiest touch-ups later.

Does this kit include mounting hardware or fasteners?

The kit includes the body panels only. You'll use your vehicle's existing mounting points and fastener locations. Verify your OEM attachment holes before installation; some mounting may require mild drilling or tap adapter fitting depending on panel fitment at your specific body lines.

Will I need gap filler or seam tape where the panels meet the OEM body?

Gaps and seams depend on body panel alignment and your installation approach. Most builders use flexible urethane sealant or automotive gap filler around seams where the FRP kit meets factory sheet metal — this prevents water intrusion and improves panel symmetry. Test-fit dry first, then decide on filler type based on your actual gap widths.
