Will each piece need to be painted separately, or can I paint them as a set?

Each piece can be painted individually before installation or assembled and painted as a complete kit — your choice. Sand each piece thoroughly and apply a quality primer before your topcoat. Painting before installation often yields better edge coverage and finish consistency.

Do I need gap filler or seam tape where the pieces meet the factory body?

Gap filler or self-adhesive weatherstripping can be used at seams if you want a seamless appearance, but it's not required for a clean install. Proper fitment and alignment during installation minimizes visible gaps. Test fit all pieces before final fastening to confirm alignment with your vehicle's body lines.

Will I lose access to my factory jack points with the side skirts installed?

Side skirts are designed to sit below the jack point area — verify clearance with your vehicle's OEM lift points before final installation. If clearance is tight, you may need to remove or notch the skirt area near the jack pad to maintain safe lifting access.
