I ordered this from WGC a few days ago while 'jazzing up' my G17. Before I bought I asked around about it and generally it was good, except sometimes it would requiring sanding to fit. Luckily mine didn't.
Looks
It's very nice looking with the barrel/breach a slightly more bronzy colour than the slide and it has full trades.
Fitting
Fitting was simple:
1. Remove the plastic slide,the barrel and recoil spring and then remove the inner barrel and hop etc.
2. Unscrew the small hex screw in the metal slide at the back (where the blowback unit screws into) using a 2mm allen key.
3. Unscrew the blowback mech from the plastic slide and remove it. If it doesn't slide out, tap it on your hand or on a table. Then transfer it into the metal slide, be careful not to lose the blowback springs out the front of the blowback unit. Screw ut into place, but not too tight.
4. Slot the inner barrel and hop etc. into the metal outer barrel.
5. Put the outer barrel in the metal slide and replace the stock recoil spring with the new one supplied (or get an alternative such as the Guarder one, which I have also reviewed) and replace the slide onto the frame.
6. Test that the gun works and then transfer the sights. The rear sight can be removed by pushing it sideways and the front sight by using pliers. If you want you could super glue the front sight on the inside of the metal slide, to make sure that it doesn't come loose and get lost.
Done!
Very simple to fit, very cheap, good quality. The only thing that stops it from getting a 10/10 is the fact that some slides have to be filed, which mine didn't 
I highly recommend it to all KWA/KSC G17 owners.
