Do I need to sand and prep each piece separately before painting?

Yes. Each panel Requires Surface Prep, so you'll want to sand the surface lightly, fill any minor voids with body filler if needed, and apply your chosen primer and paint to all pieces before installation. This ensures uniform color match and finish quality across the entire kit.

Will gap filler or seam tape be required between the pieces and the factory body?

Gaps depend on how closely you align each panel during fitment. Most installers use flexible polyurethane gap filler or trim-to-fit tape at seams where the new body kit meets the OEM body work. Have gasket material on hand before you start—exact requirements will become clear once you test-fit the panels.

How many pieces make up this kit, and do I install them all at once?

This is a 4-piece kit: front fascia, two side skirts, and rear fascia. You can install them in any order, but most builders complete the front first, then sides, then rear. This approach lets you dial in gaps and alignment as you go rather than struggling with all pieces at once.
