Do all seven pieces need to be painted separately?

Yes. Each panel Requires Surface Prep and should be sanded and prepped before applying your chosen topcoat. You can paint them on or off the vehicle — painting off-vehicle typically gives cleaner results and easier masking.

Will I need body filler or seam tape between the new panels and my existing body?

Panel fitment depends on your vehicle's body condition and mounting surface. Inspect the seams where each piece meets the OEM body before final assembly. Minor gaps can be filled with appropriate body filler or sealed with flexible seam sealant after painting.

Do I need professional installation, or can I handle this myself?

FRP body panels can be installed with basic hand tools if you're comfortable working with fasteners and alignment. Take your time fitting each piece before permanent attachment — bumpers especially benefit from careful dry-fitting. If you're unsure about gap alignment or fastener placement, a professional installer familiar with body work is worth the investment.
