Hey Ddaddy,
You are always a wealth of information, thank you

Totally Makes sense but can't bring myself to put tape on my bumper LOL

Some of the later years have stainless steel bumper guards that could be painted or powdercoated black but not for the first generation cars I guess.
Perhaps I can just skim paint it but will need to get the new bumper pads I guess. Please tell me more about spinning them, if they are a cylinder, how would that raise the height???
