Do I need to prep and paint each piece separately, or can I assemble first?

Paint before assembly. Masking individual pieces after installation creates gaps and uneven coverage. Sand the primer surface, apply your chosen base coat and clear to each component while separated, then assemble. This ensures consistent finish across all 18 pieces and makes any touch-ups easier down the road.

What's included in the 18-piece kit?

The kit includes the complete wide body package. Verify the exact breakdown (side skirts, fenders, bumper extensions, etc.) against your vehicle's reference images before ordering to confirm it matches your intended setup. Check fitment diagrams on the product page for piece-by-piece detail.

Will I need gap filler or seam tape between the new body panels and OEM sheet metal?

Gaps depend on your installation precision and how tightly the FRP panels align with the factory body. Sand and dry-fit all pieces first to identify any spacing issues. Some builders use flexible urethane sealant or gap-filling primer in tight seams — your choice based on finish preference. Test fit before finalizing to avoid rework.
