Certainly worth considering. The holes in the engine brace are where already there, just purchased that from Rennline so its should be good. The cable mount on the side of the intake is no biggy, just holds some cables in place. The hinges however might need flared. Right now I've got a much lighter deck lid on there and only one of the shocks. Seems to be just fine. I'll definitely consider that advise though, thanks!
