Most body shops should be able to do it.

Pros:
Clean

Cons:
Imagine if you got into an accident and the kit was grafted...

Dont do it , its a bitch to fix if you need to remove or replace a panel.

Yeah, I've seen it done on a few cars now and it all goes to $hit very soon after unless the car is just trailered to shows! Just need to look at it the wrong way and it all starts cracking :-(
