Can I paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes. Since each piece ships unfinished, you can sand, prime, and paint them individually on a workbench before bolting them on. This approach often yields cleaner results than painting after full assembly, especially at seam lines.

Do I need seam tape or gap fillers between the body kit pieces and my OEM panels?

Gaps depend on fitment and your installation technique. If panels sit flush, minimal or no filler is needed. If slight spacing exists, flexible seam tape or gap filler can bridge the transition. Prep the mating surfaces flat and clean before assembly to minimize gaps.

What tools and fasteners do I need for installation?

The kit mounts to existing factory locations. You'll need basic hand tools, a drill, and standard automotive fasteners. For fastener specifications and torque values, reference your vehicle's service manual to ensure secure attachment and proper alignment.
