Do I need to paint each piece separately, or can I assemble and paint as one unit?

You can paint pieces before or after assembly — both approaches work. Many builders paint individual panels on sawhorses for better coverage, then bolt them on. Painting after assembly gives you cleaner seams but requires masking and extra tape. Either way, sand and prep the primer surface before applying your chosen finish.

What's included with the kit — do I get fasteners and brackets?

The kit includes the 16 body panels. For mounting hardware and fitment specifics to your exact setup, reference your vehicle's OEM attachment points and consult a detailed installation guide specific to this Evo 2 kit, as mounting varies by panel type.

Will I need gap filler or seam tape where the panels meet the original body?

FRP panels have seams at joins — how much filler or tape you need depends on your assembly tolerance and desired finish level. Most builders use flexible epoxy filler or polyurethane sealant at body-to-panel transitions, then sand smooth before primer. Plan on some finish work at seams for a seamless look.
