Do I need to paint each piece separately before installation?

You can paint the pieces on or off the vehicle — your choice. Many builders prefer to paint them separately for easier masking and even coverage, then install once dry. Whichever method you choose, sand and prep the primer surface before applying your chosen finish.

Will I need gap filler or seam tape where the pieces meet the OEM body?

FRP kits typically benefit from small gap fillers or trim tape along seams where the bumpers and skirts meet the factory panels. Check fitment at each mounting point after dry-fitting, and use appropriate trim or sealant based on your final gap size.

Can I install this myself with basic hand tools?

Yes. Most builders handle FRP body kits with standard fasteners and hand tools. Remove the OEM components, mock-fit the new pieces to confirm alignment and gaps, then secure according to your vehicle's mounting point layout. If you're unfamiliar with panel removal, a shop can handle installation quickly.
