Need to stretch my rear tires and havent been able to find anyone who can do it for me. So I dont have my new wheels on yet.

Ok now to answer these questions you all have.

-I dont know how many hours total for the kit. The car was at the shop for 3months cause they were busy. I got a deal on the install and paint because I know someone who knows the owner.
-No major fitment issues, just some stuff they didnt get to fit as well am i would have liked
-I might need to use 10mm spacers for my front wheels, dont know yet.
-I did not trim any of the stock rear quarter panels. The way i plan to run the car it wont matter.

Hope that answers your questions

Looks good, you just need a GT Wing like legendz said plus a Scoot or RE N1 hood. The stock hood looks too plain with that kit.
