Do I need to paint each piece separately before installation?

You can paint the pieces on or off the vehicle — either approach works. Many installers prefer painting while mounted to ensure seam color consistency. Sand and prep the surface before applying your chosen finish.

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

Gap filler or flexible sealer is recommended at panel seams to prevent water intrusion and create a finished look. The kit ships as individual pieces, so prep your seams during installation based on your climate and preferred finish level.

Do the side skirts interfere with jack point access?

Verify your vehicle's jack point locations before final installation. Depending on your specific setup, you may need to trim or notch the side skirt material to maintain safe access. Reference your vehicle's service manual for exact point locations.
