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

Paint each piece before final installation. This gives you better coverage on seams and hard-to-reach areas, and prevents overspray onto other components. Once cured, assembly is straightforward.

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

Gaps depend on body panel alignment and your car's condition. Have your panels test-fit before painting to identify any seams that need attention. Most builders use flexible adhesive or sealing compound at panel junctions for a factory-smooth appearance.

Does this kit require drilling or modification to my existing bumpers?

The kit replaces OEM bumper covers entirely. Verify your vehicle's mounting point location and condition before starting. If OEM latch tabs or sensor mounts differ, you may need minor modification — inspect your car's current setup against the new panels before committing to cuts.
