Those are absolutely stunning!!

(Yesterday) I Installed my BMR Jacking Rails and put them to work.

Did my "break in" oil change at ~2200mi. Filled it with Quaker State Ultimate Durability, took almost 9 quarts. Used a Ford Racing Oil filter and installed two FilterMags onto it.

Installed a Femco drain valve so that next oil change is even easier.

I haven't installed my Steeda rails yet but am interested in whether your rails were dented in any way by the jack stand. Jack stands aren't the same shape as the square rails so most of the weight ends up being on a very small area of the rails, which is fine as long as they are made strong enough to not dent where they meet the jackstands.

Mine are a little scuffed from the jack and stands, but I touch them up regularly with ca can of black touch-up paint that I brush on. As far as dents go, I haven't noticed any dents or deformations, and I have had my car on stands probably 20 times since installing them. They are very robust.

Thanks. I don't care about the paint/powder coat. I don't look at them and I live in AZ. Good to know they don't dent.

do you have the part numbers for the filtermags that you used?

today I dropped off a spare set of engine cover and coil covers at my paint guy to get refinished to match the factory paint. cant wait to see the finished product!

I didn't notice any dents or marks, tomorrow I will go look specifically and let you know.

SS365. It fits the Ford Racing oil filter perfectly. However the OEM oil filter was a bit too small for them. Just to note.

That really sucks ...

Ran it into the menu at Sonic. I was pulling in and started sneezing hard. I slammed on the brake but it was too late. I wasn't quite straight and hit the pole. The headlamp can be buffed. The bumper can be fixed, but the fender is aluminum. I am a bodyman. I don't think I can fix the fender. I can't stud pull it. So I guess we will be blending the door too.

So this is how you Sonic. :tsk:

Ordered Corsa Extremes because I'm curious to hear what all the fuss is about. :shrug:

I can tell you after installing my Steeda rails and after the first use with the jack stands- I did get some dents- not all that bad- but I hate to see them when I lift the car-

I use folded over microfiber towels on the jack stands, and a block of 2x4 wood for the jack to prevent denting/scratching the rails. Works perfectly.

Your way's cheaper though but I hadn't bought anything but a motorcycle jack and figured why not.

Cross beam and rubber jack pads.

Added these puppies!
