There's a lot of houses in SF with flat driveways

Oh man... that video gave me a good laugh. I'm such an *******. Def one of the good times of driving a lowered car. All that means is your ride height is proper.

Hahahaha. That part was my favorite too! I actually LOL'd at work. My co-worker was prob wondering "wtf is he laughing at?" haha. The conversation between you and your friend was so great. It sounded like you were frantic while your friend was enjoying every minute. Good times indeed. Hope you get your car fixed soon and at least it was only the side skirt.

thats when you just say "awww "f-it" and floor it out of the garage in reverse. let whats gonna happen happen...




(the above is a joke, much better to do it the way you did and damage a little, than to do it redneck style and royally F your car.)

you can purchases a pair of Lexus GFX side skirts for cheaper then that. they look very similar to the OEM side skirts, but wing out a tiny bit. IMO, they look better too
