                Thanks man! :) No the taillight is straight it's just the rear quarter panel was hit cuz it was a drift car so it bent in like that. I was gunna sell the car and wanted to make it look good so I cut them but it's all good! I am keeping the car now though! It's whatever though! Coilovers soon! Oh and I have style 5's that I am putting on them soon!

                        Next time you do your springs rent a compressor from auto zone or buy one at harbor freight (10 bucks at the most.). Those springs have a ton of force on them and its just not worth risking bodily damage over a cheap tool. Whats with the zebra center ashtray?

                          Oh for sure, yeah I have almost blown my head off from not having compressors at the junk yard. The po painted that and Idk I guess I wanted to keep a little thing from how it used to be! I am eventually gunna just keep that on the side and buy a new one.

                                Most websites will state NO SHIPPING to California on high VOC style paints and coatings.
