there not that bad to do it will take a few day measuring and fitting if you tire to do your own remember think before you cut I have seen so many things I would have changed and have on some customers cars. this was done heck almost 9 years ago. and it is still sitting I may finish it up one day.

If you decide on a middle ground I think UMI has the best full length and thickest and very good ground clearance, I used their subframes also battle boxes and torque box plates together, check it out:
