find 2 sumo wrestlers from japan, place one of them in the trunk and the other one in the backseat, they will drop your car to the ground

Yeah it can be pretty handy.. Only reason I knew that was in there at all was because I've been having a hard time programming the craftsman garage door opener. I was looking through the book and just happened to remember seeing that picture.. It was strange that you posted up the question the same day.

Your cars looking sweet. What where you doing with your trunk all tore apart?

Lowered the rear down some about an inch maybe.

Changed the rear spring pads to lower the rear more.

you need thinner/thinnest springpads for rear, 18" rims won't fix your wheelgap
your are a mechanic at work you have a hoist for free, try with different pads if you have them available?

i got the right stance the 1st time with #F1/#R4 on my ride

I agree with what Kowalski says, trim should be removed. In a total paint job the front and rear screens too, but guess that would be extra $$$

of course front/rear lights has to come off, if shop has a good reputation being serious they will remove all trims by them self customer doesn't have to tell them what to do!
if customer is picky he or she will remove some easy stuff at home and letting shop do the rest.

go back and complaint Somalia!
you don't want excessive paint dripping on trims and door handles
