Default Need Advice just purchased Kaminari Body Kit and CF hood

I have an 05 Flint Metallica TC i got into a little crash and instead of replacing it with factory parts I decided to buy the front and back bumper of the kaminari kit and a carbon fiber hood.
I have a couple of questions:
1. My TC is lowered about 1' with TRD springs- will my car be to low to the ground with the kit?
2. Will my Ground Effects side skirts match up properly with the Kaminari front and back bumper?
3. How exactly do i replace my hood and make it sit flush
4. Anyone who has put on the Kaminari Body kit have any recommendations on installation or heads up for things i might have to modify or change on the kit to make it work
5. Does the Kaminari front come with a grille?

All feedback is Greatly appreciated and i CANT wait till my cars complete and looking AMAZING!

if you got an authentic kaminari kit it does not come with a grill. Also as for instalation make sure to test fit the bumpers first before you paint. Mine went right on but you never know its aftermarket. And for your hood you might have to use diffrent bolts. You should be ok with the factory sides.Hope this helps.

New clips from Toyota for bumpers. I have had problems with back bumper poping out below the taillights. Since the back bumper is all open, it tends to catch air at highway speeds and pull on it. Really annoying.
