Do I need to paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes. Each panel Requires Surface Prep, so you'll want to sand and prep the surface, apply your chosen paint system, and allow full cure before fitting the kit. This approach gives you better color matching and finish quality than trying to paint after assembly.

Is there a gap filler or seam tape included with this kit?

The kit includes the four body panels only. You'll source seam sealer or flexible trim separately based on your fitment gaps and preferred finish. Most builders use flexible polyurethane seam sealer between panels for a clean, weather-resistant result.

Will I need professional installation, or can I handle this as a DIY project?

FRP body kits can be installed with basic hand tools and patience. You'll need to mock-fit, drill any necessary mounting holes, and secure panels using fasteners appropriate to your vehicle. If you're unfamiliar with panel alignment and fastening, a professional install ensures proper fitment and finish.
