Cutting holes for mazdaspeed replica kit

So I found a pretty good deal for a polyurethane replica mazdaspeed kit.

But I'll have to cut holes and I'm wondering if this is a common procedure that has been done before (doing it myself not paying anyone)

I figure I'll need holes for license plate, trunk button and the front headlight sprayers.


Do people just leave this to professionals or just not cut holes?


Side question, I have foglights, will I need to buy that foglight bracket? (The kit has nothing where the foglights are)

you'll regret it, you should never have to cut your own holes on a bodykit, (ever, definitely not a "common practice")so that should be an indication of the ensuing nightmares you will have getting that kit to fit right. You think you found a pretty good deal, what you make up for in cost of the kit will cost the same as a real(Authentic) kit once you add in labor to get it to fit right, then you're stuck with a replica that looks like *** that costs the same as something legit.
If you really want to do a kit, do yourself a favor and save up for something authentic, most knock off kits are so awful they're a downgrade from stock, kind of defeats the purpose.

What bumper you have? You will need to buy the bracket.. Some people say some replicas are pretty good it's all just random on which one you get...
