Default HELP !!!! GS owners with veilside side skirts...

All of you who owns GS w/ Veilside side skirts. Can you still lift up / jack your car on the usual / recommended spot safely without breaking the side skirts ?

Post Hey gewe21....

To answer your question, I haven't had any problems with getting a jack underneath with the side skirts. You can still put your OEM jack underneath if need be....but I haven't had any problems. How low do you have your car sitting? I have the TEIN flex's with a 2" drop in the front and 1.5 in the back...hope that helps?

I'm fine too! I've had mine for over 2 years already and they are still good, they touch, but i just put a towel between the jack when i did with the lexus emergency jack. Now i don't touch that part because i use a jack and jack stands never touch it either.

You don't have the Exec though.

I'm sure it is somewhat similar underneath though. I'm just giving you a hard time.
