Default full body kit off ebay?

i have a 08 is250 awd and want to buy and install a full body kit. was considering a few from ebay. my concerns are as follows and suggustions are greatly appreciated. are the parts easy to install and will it require any drilling and new fasteners or will it be a direct bolt over with 3m tape and a few fasteners.i plan on painting and installing them myself. just curious as to the complexity of the installation. anyone who has a full kit or f/r lips who has installed them please help with some installation advice and pics if possible. i wanna know what i will be up against in advance, should i decide to do it. thanks

Which body kit are you thinking of getting ? Assuming since its off ebay its a replica kit. Ive read from people that it honestly is a hit and miss some kits fit really good and others need more work and prep time just all depends....

was thinking of this one because it is not to dramatic and looks clean and factory style.

Appears to be a vertex replica kit.

I bought my kit from Bayson R off ebay. Painted installed myself. Fitment was great even though it was a replica kit. I used bolts + 3m double sided tape. Heres a link to my work if you wanna check it out
