I do agree with Predator Corsa the actual GSi kit is common, though the good thing about it is, it's a GM part so no need to claim it as a modification on the insurance

On Corsasport i would say the GSi kit out numbers the fiberglass kits 2 to1 BUT on the road the fiberglass kits out number the GSi 5 to 1.
You will also find most of the one's on the road with fiberglass kits most prob do not have internet access (or use it alot for Car's) so they read all the Car mags like Max flower, so they will follow the trend and what they and mags think are nice.

Depends on the insurer, most prefer GM parts over aftermarket, although it is still a mod so some can be funny.
Personally I think GSi are getting more common in these circles, but so are XE, smaller wheels, TBs, whatever. More people building stuff for second cars/whatever and people doing it for themselves rather than front page of a mag.
Plus a lot of people have been there done that, realised that bit kits/wheels/drop aren't practical for day to day driving so want something more subtle that doesn't look standard.
Big kits also have a bad press on here, like if someone comes on and says 'I want a big kit what are your thoughts' they'll be told don't do it.

i think something different should be done to the kit. Something like what adam_b posted where the arches, top of the bumpers and the sideskirts were black

Have to agree that Corsas with GSi kits aren't exactly common!
I Love the GSi kit but theres nothing better than the BAT Kit in my eyes
Theres always one   will let you off though cos yours isn't exactly your average combat/predator/jap kit
