Default New 4 post lift installed (few pics)

Garage has fresh paint, 4 post lift assembled and in service, first measurable snow is falling so timing worked out perfect. Well almost perfect, we had about a half inch of snow here before I could get the final adjustments made to the lift and the Vette's inside. Thanks to all members on this forum who gave info on the 4 post lifts it helped a lot in my search for a good deal. Here are a few pics I shot before leaving for work this morning.

Ceiling is 9' 4'' high. You can't tell from the pictures but I have about 5 to 6 inches above the C-3 and about 6 to 8 inches above the C-5. The lift dealer told me for a lift to fit and work properly measure your cars and and 10'', if your ceiling is equal to or greater than that you are in good shape.
