So i'm leaning towards the street scene body kit and the directions say that you have to prep the kit then paint then install. How much prepping does it take?

Are you a body man? Own a shop or have experience with painting / bodywork?

If not I would SERIOUSLY suggest you get a qualified person to do the work.

There is quite a bit of prep because SS packages their parts (rear valence and front bumper) in boxes that are a bit too small for the part. In the case of the rear valence it absolutely needs to be treated with a heat gun to reform it to fit your car. The front bumper will likely also need this treatment.

The side skirts are packaged well and are pretty solid so you won't have much to do there.

Aside of course from the primer, paint and installation.
