Seller has a pretty good rating of 98%
Thats a pretty good price actually, damn! Ive never ordered anything online but my brother has and hes rarely had problems, and when he has, the seller has always rectified the problems he did have.
Thats my $0.02

EDIT: Although he has 10550 positive feedback comments, he does have 151 negative comments. Id look into those and see if any of the negative experiences have sthg in common with you. For example, if every red LED kit he has sent out was defective but every blue was fine, then Id be worried. However, thats just an example, But id certainly look into it before buying. Good luck!

Run the wires through the firewall

If you're gonna be buying the one with the control panel (meaning there will be different patterns you can select) then once you get everything up and running, select a place, and mount it there. Thats all up to you. Id say use velcro and put it somewhere, maybe on the right side of the drivers feet. Accessible but doesnt look messy and crap, looks clean!

If its just a switch, and you're just getting the kit where its "ON" or "OFF" then just chose a place to put a switch. Id put the switches above the cupholders in my car. Do you have a flip cup holder lid? I have that, and above that there are two black peices of plastic, id drill through there and put the switch there. clean and simple, and no one sees the wires and stuff which are hidden by the center console
