Do these door caps require the complete wide body kit to install properly?

Yes. These caps are engineered as part of a full wide body kit. Installing them without the complete kit may result in misalignment and fitment issues. Confirm your wide body kit is ready before ordering.

What prep is needed before painting?

Sand the surface with standard automotive abrasive to promote paint adhesion, then clean thoroughly. Apply your chosen primer and topcoat system according to the paint manufacturer's recommendations. Proper surface prep is critical for long-term finish durability.

Can I install these myself with basic tools?

Installation requires access to mounting points on your door and proper alignment with the adjacent wide body panels. Review the fitment points on your donor vehicle before beginning. If you're unfamiliar with panel alignment and fastening, professional installation is recommended to ensure gap consistency and body line flow.
