Do I need to paint all 11 pieces separately, or can they be assembled first?

Painting before assembly is recommended — it ensures even coverage on seams and edges without masking hardware. You can mask and paint individual pieces in a single spray session, or batch-paint groups of similar panels. Sand all pieces to the same grit before priming for uniform finish quality.

Will I need gap filler or seam tape between the pieces and my factory body panels?

FRP kits typically fit tight to factory mounting points, but minor gaps depend on your specific installation. Inspect fit before final fastening. If needed, flexible polyurethane gap sealant bridges small seams without cracking as the body flexes. This is a finish detail — plan for it during your paint and prep workflow.

How many pieces am I working with, and what are the major components?

The 11-piece configuration covers the full wide body package. Review fitment diagrams and your vehicle's current body dimensions before ordering to confirm all pieces coordinate with your existing panels and clearance points. Lay out all components before assembly to identify any custom trimming or modifications your specific installation might require.
