Can I paint each piece separately before installation?

Yes. The modular four-piece design makes it practical to sand, prep, and finish each panel individually in your workspace. This approach gives you full control over paint application and cure time without time pressure.

Do I need seam tape or gap filler between the pieces and OEM panels?

Gap management depends on your installation approach and how tightly each piece sits against the existing body. Inspect the fit before priming. Many builders use flexible urethane sealer along seams after painting for a finished appearance and weather resistance.

Is professional installation required?

Installation complexity varies based on your tool access and experience level. The four separate pieces allow you to tackle one section at a time. Reference your vehicle's service manual for mounting point locations and fastener specifications before you begin.
