What prep work is needed before painting?

Sand the surface with appropriate grit progression to create a smooth base, then apply a quality primer and your chosen topcoat. Standard automotive surface prep procedures apply — the FRP is manufactured to accept paint finishes directly.

Do I need to drill new mounting holes or can I use existing factory points?

This kit is engineered for direct bolt-on fitment using your vehicle's existing attachment points. Reference your OEM mounting locations before installation to confirm hole alignment with the kit panels.

Can I install this myself with basic hand tools?

Yes. Removal of the factory front end and installation of the new kit requires standard hand tools and basic mechanical knowledge. No specialized equipment is necessary, but allow adequate time for proper fitment and alignment before final fastening.
