Do I need to paint each piece separately before installation?

You can prep and paint pieces before or after installation — both methods work. Painting on the car allows you to blend seams and ensure consistent color match. Pre-painting off the vehicle gives you more control and workspace. Either way, sand and prep all surfaces before primer and topcoat.

What hardware comes with this kit?

The kit includes the nine FRP panels. Fasteners and mounting hardware are not included in this assembly. You'll need to source bolts, clips, or adhesive appropriate to your vehicle's mounting points — reference your vehicle's service manual or the installation guide for the hardware specifications required.

Will there be gaps between each piece after installation?

Minor gaps are normal with multi-piece kits and can be managed with gap filler or seam tape before primer. Once primed and painted, any remaining gaps blend visually. Proper fitment and panel alignment during installation minimize visible seams — take time to test-fit each piece and verify alignment points before fastening permanently.
