Do I need to paint each piece separately, or can I assemble and paint as one unit?

Each piece ships separately and can be painted before or after installation—whichever fits your workflow. Painting before install allows easier masking and coverage; painting after assembly ensures seamless color match across seams. Both methods work equally well with FRP.

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

The kit is engineered for clean panel alignment at factory mounting points. Small gaps at body lines are normal and part of the RBS design aesthetic. Use standard automotive gap filler or flexible sealant on any gaps you want closed before primer application.

How many fastening points does this kit use, and will I need new hardware?

The four-piece design uses the vehicle's existing factory mounting locations. Verify your OEM fastener condition before install—most bolt holes will accept OEM hardware, though you may choose to upgrade fasteners based on your preference and local climate conditions.
