Its fair to say that 99% of kits will not fit 100% perfectly and need a little work, it depends on the condition of the car the kit was designed on, how well the kit was designed. if its been stored at a funny angle (fibreglass and eurethane will warp over time), all sort of factors count. Kits are easy to fit as they are ply-able so you can massage them into shape for your car. Just take your time.

buy the kit you want then when you get it, offer it up to the car and decide wether you can manage it or if you should take it to a bodyshop.

If you do it yourself, fit the kit up, then take it off and paint it before re-fitting, dont paint it first.
