Looking good!

But, please tell me that you aren't lifting your car from the floor boards!! It sure looks that way.

I'm not sure, but I believe those are not the best places to lift the car.

Yikes! Those are not safe lift points. They are not structural.

Looking good, but one question - how did you get your cross member and suspension components to look that great?

That there is some car ****! Very nice! But please, buy some hockey pucks and at least use the factory tie-down points if you're going to use a four-point lift. Ain't "perfect" but it will do for the four-point. That car deserves it.
