The frame needs to be milled so its not something that can be done on the kitchen counter. Any competent 1911 smith can install them.
Do you need them? Really depends how much shooting you plan on doing. My advice would be to go ahead and shoot it first and worry about the steel feed ramp if you ever start eroding frame on the alloy.
Coincidentally, I've owned the two kimbers you are considering. Take it for what it's worth but the only two kimbers I would ever consider owning again is a series 1 or a early model TLE circa 2003.
