    not a big fan of the kit/colouring.. personal suggestion. I prefer the VNs lowered on FE2, and 5.0l.

    sorry dude.

    Thanx for your comments guys, i knew it wouldnt be everybodys piece of cake but i suppose you build it for yourself to enjoy.....the rear bar will be on in a couple of weeks, the rims are XHP Boost 18x8.5, they cost me around 1200-1300.
