i just had mine done about to weeks ago, you pretty much have to box the hole subframe in and weld it to the frame. i put braces on mine and it still broke about 4 times. they are very weak.....

I broke the top and the bottom tabs so I had it done like this. I have heard the 600/750s are weak up front too though.

Thanks for the help. That diamond plated stuff looks pretty cool. If you have any more pics that would really help. I haven't cracked anything yet but my friend has cracked his several times and I guessed might as well get the jump on it before my **** goes out next.
