I like them. never seen one in real life, but ive never heard anything bad about them and the designs arent too bad for most of their kits.

Same as every other kit made by a quality manufactuer.

Meaning it will still have wonky gaps and the odd pin hole in the gel coat and should be fitted/mounted/painted by a professional shop if professional results are desired.

I've never seen a fibergalss body kit come out of a box and fit a car yet.........and I've seen some expensive ktis Closest to fitting out of the box I've seen was a $2600 dry CF hood for a C6 'vette from Zip performance.

HAHA Thats a joke. Those kits are terrible quality without a lot of work from an experienced body guy. I've seen it in person and by god I think the front bumper was about 10lbs. I wish I were lying.
