There are a number of manufacturers in Latvia (either that or they all come from the same factory). Strangely, it's impossible to find any made of ABS, or even any manufactured in other companies. I haven't had a great deal to do with fibreglass, but it's extremely flexible, and most of the kit fits 100%. The gelcoat is on the front only, which is quite well done, however the back is pretty rough (doesn't matter much as you don't see it).
The front needed a bit of fiddling around but the back fits well. Hopefully the wheel arches do too. As a bonus the wheel arches are textured already, so I don't need to find a textured paint.
All in all, it's cost me just over $1000 AUD in total for the front and rear, painted and installed by myself (including wheel arches which I haven't yet put on - or painted).
