Can I paint each piece separately, or should I assemble first?

Paint each piece individually before installation. This ensures even coverage on all surfaces and prevents paint drips inside seams. Sand and prep each panel before applying your chosen finish for best adhesion and appearance.

Do I need gap filler or seam tape between panels?

Gap filler or trim tape between body kit panels is optional and depends on your desired finish look. If gaps are visible after installation, flexible trim sealant can fill them cleanly. Apply before paint or use color-matched tape after finishing.

Will a professional install be necessary, or can I handle this myself?

This is a multi-piece kit that benefits from patience and precision—not necessarily professional-only work. Dry-fit all pieces before any fastening to verify alignment. If you're comfortable with hand tools and panel fitment, DIY installation is achievable with time and care.
