this is something that we have done to my car and has worked great. 10 gallon cell and spent around $325 on parts to build it. i was thinking about making a complete list for people what would rather diy than try to find a used or buy new. not something that im selling or trying to compete with jm fab but offering a list to take the guesswork out of building one yourself. if theres an interest ill definitely make a list with part numbers.
 
I'd be curious, but I'd need at least a 15 gallon tank to make it worthwhile, ideally 20+. 10 is too small, as someone who regularly drives their car hundreds of miles at a time without stops. Did you explore larger tank options?

i did. dimension wise the 10 gallon was the biggest i could find that would fit front to back without issue. personally wasnt an issue for me as i dont daily my car but one could widen the 10 gallon cell if theyd want. jm fab is the only company that offers a bolt in cell and the biggest they offer is a 10 gallon as well.

What's the asking price?...kidding. I would love a parts list as my stock fuel tank is jacked up.

Would flattening the trunk floor (removing the spare tire dip) fix this issue? I don't have/use/care for a spare tire and would be willing to flatten the floor if it would make it much easier to fit the large tank. Need to take a look under my car later tonight and see if that would do much...

no that has nothing to do with fitment. the there is only 17" between the mounting points front to back for the tank and anything over a 10 gallon in all cell manufacturers are longer which wont fit in between
