    been done plenty of times before but not worth it really due to the weight and with the amount of custom bits you have to make. having said that im doing it

    Not much heavier than an XE, size is more of an issue as its deeper but do fit fairly easily.

    Depends what you like driving.

    There is no clearance problems underneath its the slam to bulk head clearance raise it there and you will need to jack your bonnet up and it just wont sit right.
