Without a doubt the most difficult and expensive part of the conversion is going to come in the rear quarter panels. The F2 RS kit was nice since it merely added fender flares to the existing quarters that were held in place with rivets. However in order to install the OEM pieces, you'll need to pull the glass, remove the welds on the existing panels, and weld the new ones in place. On top of all of that, expect probably $2K - $3K in paint alone for the entire car, not to mention the prep work, body work on said quarters, etc.
