Great write up. Thanks for posting. Have you considered the new Ti center section from GMG?:

Only 3 lbs.! Significant weight savings over stock, not to mention the faaabulous sounds. I plan on trading up very soon.

Hey guys, glad you like how it turn out. Love the fact I lost 11 lbs from the rear end. I was having trouble fitting into my 80's tight Jordache jeans lol

Yes, some sort of light weight mid muffler solution is coming soon. Stay tune

Looks good, Mike, perhaps we'll make this a kit for our site. Predict sub-$2k for the price!

I am old enough to suffer through the 80's as a high schooler and having to look at some god awful tight Jordache jeans .... at least the high schooler now days just look at each other's G-string and boxer since they wear their pants on their knees lol

Yes, a Euro rear bumper conversion kit on your website will be a great idea since many had PM me with parts and pricing info. Let us know once it's up. You can use my RS pictures on your website for reference

Water based paint and color matching are the ones to watch out for

Just make sure your shop know how to handle and spray water based paint. Color match depends on your painter's skill
