I suggest you go with vfiber because I juss got my invader body kit from those guys, and they fit like a glove. I used to have a Duraflex ground effect, but it cracked off while driving, not saying they are bad but they seem not as strong and oh my, the finish wasn't as good as the vfiber. I was surprised how the vfiber kit turned out actually.

I got mine through a friend of mine as a gift, I think he got it from a site called www.kidimports.com

I installed my body kit with a help of a friend. It took about an hour to take off the bumpers, I guess all you need to do is test fit first and trim the parts to make sure you get a perfect fit. I sanded the angles to make sure that it gives a "sharp" look after it's painted. Some people like the round angles but I sanded the parts to create more texture or "body lines". After the test fit we brought the parts to a local shop and got it painted to colormatch. It only took 2 days to paint the body kit, I installed the kit again after it's painted and that was the easy part because I already made sure that everything fits perfectly before the paint process began. Sorry about the long story but yea you can install the kit yourself if you like doing everything yourself, but of course if you are not sure what to do, have a body shop do the work for you.
