Not really sure how people are going about it but the shops that bought the kit are doing it themselves but I think the regular customers are all getting it done at a shop and getting painted at the same time.
Installation is actually not that difficult if you have some knowledge about cars and aren't afraid to mess anything up. We're always here to help with any questions.
We are fully stocked on the kits, ready to ship whenever from our location. Packing does take 1-2 days because we want to make sure everything is extra secure.

Got to be 3 in state. 2 sold from JM Auto Racing as stated and the 3rd set I bought off another website. Oh trust me I am not scared to mess anything up haha. Just want some pointers if I end up doing it myself. Especially the rear quarter panel. Also, does the kit come with hardware and instructions?

No hardware is included because there's not really 1 right way to affix it on your car. You can choose to use rivets, rivnuts/nutserts, molded, or shaved. I think there are some shops that are using epoxy for flares.
As for the rear fender trimming, I highly suggest welding the inner and outer quarter panels together after cutting to prevent anything going in there.
If you look up fender flare DIYs, there are tons on s2000, 240sx, and some others. It's all the same concept.

There are no instructions, when you get the kit and have questions which piece goes where just give us a call. It's pretty straight forward, you can't really mix up the pieces.

Gotcha! Ive been reading a few but definitely will look into it more. Thanks for the info! Its just a waiting game for the kit now.
Also i have another question. Do you know the wheel specs on the 2 Lexus IS(grey and white one) you guys have for example. Also, I might end up running spacers. Should I just run the spacers about the same as how wide the kit is? 60mm front and 80mm rear?

Nooooooo, running spacers that big should NEVER be done. Not sure if anyone even makes spacers that large, if they do they should stop!...
I would definitely recommend getting wheels to fit how you want it to.
