Take off the ocean liner lights and put the correct bumper turn signal lights in there, and it might grow on you. The kit is not bad at all style-wise IMO, but I'm not a huge fan of the black accenting - all red would look better.
I wouldn't worry about the neon - it'll be broken soon and you can just leave it off until then.
How much is he asking? It probably cost $2000-4500 for the body kit plus install and paint, depending on 'friend' discounts and if the parts are quality or junk.
I like it. I would always rather do mechanical / interior work than body and paint.
