C12 Carbon components, ask for Paulo, real good dude, if you have fitment issues, he helps remedy it as well, they used to be know for shotty fitment...but he handles it case by case well I've noticed in my experience.

its doable man, im military and single, so i had the financial luxury, on the flip side, i am military, so i had to carve out time for all of these projects cause i find myself on duty alot. I also found myself lucky to get in with alot of good, and connected people, and if they understand your vision, they can help you get there. thanks and good luck with the ride man.
