The coffman sounds great especially for a budget exhaust. As for the fender eliminator a lot of us made our own. Very simple to get a small sheet of metal and bend it with a few drill holes you have a fender eliminator. Some have also used various brackets to make their own.

Picture of mine to give you an idea of what I did. I used led bolt lights in the two extra holes left from the stock fender. Also u can crimp a bullet electrical connector to the led bulb wires to plug straight into the stock license plate light wire.

Welcome!!
Iif you want to keep the stock turn signals, I would suggest the yoshimura kit, which is what I got. It is a bit pricey but it is plug and play. I've seen the one Keach has and it is an awesome home made one but he has the integrated turn signal set up. Like DanS said, I would do what Keach did..fabricate a fender eliminator and buy the integrated tail light(check out motodynamic). Good luck!

Would love too, but I couldn't make that happen this weekend unfortunately.

Edit: if people came Saturday night, where would we stay at? Cause I would probably camp, don't want to afford a hotel if possible.

I have the Coffman's, it's seriously awesome. You do have to rivet it into the position/angle you want it in, so do make sure you like it before you drill!
