Things to consider:
Before you go out and buy a bodykit, there are still yet more things you need to consider.

1) Is this car you're daily driver? If so you might want to shy away. Maybe not the whole thing but just the front. You need to remember its fiberglass its not incredibly strong. Do you really want to put it through the punishment of your daily commute? Just be really careful on your driving.

2) Where do you live? This goes back to the whole daily driver thing. Live out in the country? just watch out on dirt roads for flying rocks. Live in the city? Pot holes everywhere!! Lots of cars jammed in close together = Plenty of chances for accident. Suburbia? Speed bumps and gutters at the bottom of the driveway all =SCRAPE!! The worst sound ever.

Getting it all together:
Well you ordered you're kit and its here. If you going the shop route take it in, and sit back and relax till its done. As mentioned earlier if you get lucky and get one that fits, the install is pretty straight forward. If your kit doesn’t fit address the problem areas. Odds are if you search someones already had the same problem as you and you can just pm them or whatever and ask for advice. This is usually the part where the bondo comes in. So when you’ve got it all fitted don’t be happy yet be happy but you're not done yet. Paint time. Now some people will fit the kit then get it painted then put it on the car. I think that defeats the purpose. Odds are you'll scratch it or whatever putting it on. I would, like others, fit it, install it, then get it and the immediate area around it painted. If you're going to mold it on (make it look like its part of the car) you don’t have any other choices.
