RScab Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Its all about personal opinion to mod or not But costs play a major part of that decision What ever you think it will cost will be a mile away from the final cost Havin very deep pockets will make it so much easier Good luck with the build which ever way you go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
