I'll post some updates when it arrives. I'll definitely be adding a little fibreglass to the corners of the front spoiler for extra support.

Does anyone have any tips on installing the flares? Or painting with a textured paint?
Update time: The kit arrived today. I unwrapped the flares and they are textured already, like the oem flares! The quality is excellent. All I need to do is paint them. They don't seem particularly strong.. so I might look at some way of reinforcing them. Does anyone have advice on how to attach them?

I also unwrapped the rear spoiler. It of great quality. All it will need is a little sand on some of the edges. The imperfections on the edges are so tiny, you'll never see them when painted.
I'll unwrap the front spoiler tomorrow. Overall, very impressed!
