Can I paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes. Painting panels individually before mounting is the standard approach. Sand and prep the primer surface thoroughly, then apply your chosen basecoat and clear. This gives you better coverage and finish control than painting after install.

Do I need to drill new holes to mount these panels?

No. The kit is designed to use factory mounting points. Verify that your vehicle's original holes align with the panel fastener locations before final assembly to ensure a clean fit.

How many fasteners do I need for all four pieces?

The kit itself does not include hardware. You'll need to source bolts, clips, or fasteners appropriate for your vehicle's factory mounting system. Check your OEM service manual or reference the factory fastener locations on your vehicle to determine the correct quantity and size.
