Working with a lift is so much easier. I have an Atlas Kwik Bay, a little more cumbersome, but I can park a car over it so it's always ready to go.

I thought about one of those but I like the portability and the ability to remove the lift I can set the car down on the wheel cribs and remove the jacks so I can work on the rockers.

I made wodden blocks kinda like cribs so I can drop the car on it and lower the lift to the floor. This lift also has a locking system so I can leave it up whithout fear of it coming down over time.

Default Spring Maintenance+

Found a hole in the HX, so installed a Weapon X HX, plus oil change and stage 2 front splitter. Next weekend will be side skirts.

Hardest part of the job, pulling the front fascia

The bastard of a rock that necessitated the HX replacement

Front back on, almost ready to roll

The snow finally melted, the weather warmed enough to get the car out so drove over to a friend's and replaced,the stock brake pads with Carbotech ceramics and then installed some fenderwell extensions to keep the rocks coming off the front tire's of the GS to help eliminate rock chips. Today was a great day.

I'll snap some more after work. It got dark on me. I was seriously overthinking this install. It was super easy, nothing to it.

looks good! I got mine yesterday and will get them installed tomorrow. Did you have a small ish gap on the insides near the break light when lining it up, looks like you gotta push it like 1/2” to get it flush? The screws hold this ok?...

Did it last week....but install this suede quilted headliner. It installs right over the existing headliner and can be easily removed if necessary.
