Do I need to paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes. Sand and prep each panel to accept primer and paint before bolting them on. Painting off the vehicle gives you better coverage and faster cure times than trying to mask and spray around mounted body panels.

Will I lose jack point access with the side skirts installed?

The Elegante rocker panels follow OEM contours closely, but verify your vehicle's jack points and lift pad locations before final installation. If your factory points align with the panel cutouts, you're clear. If not, you may need to drill or route access holes to maintain safe lifting points.

How many fasteners do I need to secure all four pieces?

The kit includes the panels only. You'll supply fasteners (bolts, clips, or adhesive) based on your mounting method and vehicle's existing hole pattern. Check your original bumper and rocker hardware for reference, or consult your service manual for OEM fastener locations and counts.
