damn cnt wait to see some pics when its done!!! did u relocate the speedo? if so where because its not mounted on the coil where mine is so was jw if you found a better spot? cuz i dnt see it in the pic. i was considering a spring seat but the pc3 will be here monday so i think that will be too much to stash away. you should throw some drag bars on there with like 3 or 4 inch risers
