Do I need to paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes — each piece ships unpainted and primed. You can paint them off-vehicle for cleaner, more even coverage, then install after cure. Alternatively, paint them in place if you prefer. Either method works; off-vehicle painting gives you better control and finish quality.

Will the side skirts clear my existing jack points?

The Vader skirts are designed with standard proportions, but jack point access varies by setup. Check your vehicle's jack point locations before final installation. If clearance is tight, verify fitment with a mock-up or test fit to confirm your jacking hardware doesn't interfere.

Can a beginner install this kit without professional help?

Installation complexity depends on your mechanical comfort level and available tools. The kit requires proper fastening at mounting points and finish work (sanding, priming, painting). If you're experienced with basic hand tools and body panel work, DIY is feasible. If not, professional installation ensures proper alignment and finish quality.
