Very nice upgrades so far. Congrats. Could you give us some details on your 19" wheel upgrades. It might be useful to myself and others as they consider that size and are wondering about clearance problems. What width are your wheels and what offset? Thanks.

How do you like the Top Speed Exhaust? I am looking to make some exhaust changes. Is it from the Cat back or just mufflers?

Yeah, I bought it from him. Deciding to get rear apron now that it looks "incomplete" with the skirts.

Crazy story, I was in Vietnam last month for vacation, decided to fly to Thailand for 1 day to buy it straight from him. Took it with me back on the plane. Airline only charged $100 for oversized package lol.
