Do I need to paint each panel separately before installation, or can I assemble first?

Either approach works. Many builders prefer to sand, prime, and paint individual panels flat on a workbench — it gives you better access and a cleaner finish. You can also install the kit first and mask around mounting points before painting as a full assembly. Sand the surface with appropriate grit and apply your chosen topcoat system.

Is this a bolt-on install, or does it require drilling and modification?

This kit is designed to mount using your vehicle's factory attachment points where applicable. Reference your OEM service manual or test-fit each panel before final fastening. Some sections may require small holes or reinforcement — verify your specific mounting situation during the dry-fit stage.

Do side skirts interfere with the jack points on the rocker?

Side skirts will cover your factory jack point access. Plan ahead: either drill access holes through the skirts to maintain clearance, or remove them when you need to jack the vehicle. Common practice is to create a reinforced hole directly above the pinch weld so you can use a jack pad safely.
