    What is the height did you use? I believe it is adjustable. Did you use the lowest setting?

    Nice car, that is what I'm thinking of doing with my Gen III. Red tails, black roof and wheels...all in due time.

    vinyls are holding up pretty well... considering that I'm parked outside (under the sun) during the day from mon-fri........ on weekends I usually spray plexus on it to clean it (it was the cleaner advised by the installer)........
