Do I need to paint each piece separately or can I assemble first?

Paint before final assembly. Spraying individual pieces ensures even coverage on all surfaces and seams, and makes masking and prep work simpler. Once cured, assemble and fit to the vehicle.

Will I need gap filler or seam tape between the pieces?

That depends on your fitment preference and the gaps where pieces meet. Have the kit test-fit to the vehicle first, then decide whether you want seamless integration (using filler or tape) or slight gaps. Most builders apply flexible filler or trim tape to clean up visible seams after paint.

Does this kit use factory mounting points or do I need to drill new holes?

Verify mounting holes and attachment points against your vehicle before final assembly. Some factory fastener locations will align; others may require drilling or adapting. Have your mounting hardware and installation plan ready before committing to fit.
