Do I need to paint each piece separately or as an assembled kit?

You can paint pieces individually before install or after full assembly—both approaches work. Painting before assembly is often easier for even coverage and faster curing, but assemble and paint after if you prefer a seamless finish across seams. Either way, ensure all surfaces are properly sanded and primed before applying topcoat.

Is gap filler or seam tape needed between the pieces?

FRP kits naturally create tight panel-to-panel seams. Whether you use gap filler depends on your finish preference—for a factory-smooth appearance, quality seam sealer after paint application will eliminate any hairline gaps. For a race-oriented look, many builders leave seams visible. Test-fit your kit before committing to any filling method.

Can I install this myself or should I hire a professional?

Installation requires basic hand tools and mechanical familiarity—drilling mounting holes, aligning panels, and fastening to the frame is manageable for DIY builders with patience. Panel alignment is the most time-intensive step. If you're unsure about fitment or drilling, a shop install ensures proper gaps and finish. Either way, reference your vehicle's OEM mounting points before drilling any holes.
