Do I need to have these pieces professionally installed?

Yes, professional installation is strongly recommended. Polyurethane body kits require precise alignment and proper fastening to factory mounting points. A shop experienced with body kit work will ensure even gaps and secure fitment.

Will these panels deform during shipping, and how do I restore them?

Polyurethane can shift shape during transit due to pressure and temperature changes. If deformation occurs, place the affected panels in direct sunlight for several hours—the material will gradually return to its original form as it warms. Avoid forcing panels into place before they've fully restored.

Should I paint each panel separately before installation?

You can paint panels before or after installation depending on your shop's workflow. Pre-painting allows easier color matching and control over finish quality. Post-installation painting is cleaner if panels need to be removed for any reason. Confirm your installer's preference—both methods work with polyurethane once the surface is sanded and prepped.
