Do these five pieces require painting separately or as an assembled unit?

Each piece ships unpainted, so you can prep and paint them individually on a work bench, then install once dry. This approach gives you better access and cleaner final coverage than painting after assembly.

Will I need additional gap filler or seam tape where the bumpers meet the OEM body panels?

Gap management depends on your vehicle's OEM body lines and how the kit aligns with your specific installation. Test-fit the bumpers before final paint to identify any gaps, then source sealing material based on what you find during that step.

What's the piece count breakdown — how many components make up the side skirt and bumpers?

The kit contains five distinct pieces: front bumper cover, rear bumper cover, left side skirt, right side skirt, and one additional body panel. Refer to the included fitment diagram to confirm which piece matches your preferred mounting location.
