One thing about body kits though is how they're actually installed. You can buy the kit fully painted and install it yourself. But the fit and finish wont be as good as a professional body shop.

A pro would be starting with an unpainted body kit. When they do the paint, they will also complete the install and bake the car at the same time. The baking process not only harden's the paint, it also helps the installation of the body kit.

Someone once showed me 2 cars side by side, one baked and one not. The baked one had a way better fit and finish to the body kit. You could really notice the difference in the panel gaps.
