why dont you just fit a gsi kit and a set of those uber rare speedlines
on a serious note though, the prowler kit is designed, imo, purely for show type cars (2nd cars) that arnt going to be driven very often. keep that in mind when your approaching the build.
also you will need shares in a sandpaper company and a filler/fiberglass company.
best of luck to you though, respect for anyone doing the work themselves. 
look forward to reading the WIP post

Christ jacko! no inner arches what so ever! crazyness, i really would like to have a propper look at you car some time!
And its nice to see that some one agrees with me! It defeats the object buying one already done or [paying some one to fit the kit for you! If you do it yourself you know what the quality of work is like!
GSi Kit and speedlines is tempting, dont see them anywhere! But i have gone down the OEM look in cars and i want to go over the top with a show car! and yes paper and materials is always a pain in the arse! but it will be worth it! I will take it to work and steal all of thier stuff in my lunch break!
There will deffinately be a WIP thread up very soon! I would start one now, but i have the small problem of only having money... no parts

I think the kit is a pain in the ass...
The one i have i didn't do any of it my self so i can't really help you much with it.
But ive had the front bumper and rear bumpers off and there has been alot of work gone into just trying to get them there.

Very nice car mate! Diffrent to see one which doesnt have the bumpers smoothed in with the arches. i suppose more people smooth it because thats one less pannel like to get right!
Looks very tidy mate, are you selling it? ir us that offers sticker from where you bought it?

i nearly bought one of these kits a few years ago, always wonted a black one. one of the things that put me off tho was the rear bumper as i think it is abit "skinny" and dosnt stick out the back enough as such. i think the kit would look better with a d&m developements bumper extended to fit impo.

i understand what yo umean 100% and thats what is slightly putting me offbut i am sure that that can be altered ie get a extra lip added on or some thing.
I like Jackos one, i will edit in some photos of his in a sec...
