Ever do anything STUPID?

Installed my front lip and diffuser today. Since lowering the car I need to drive up an 4 inch blocks before getting the jack under. The smart move would be 4 inch race ramps. Blocks slipped when coming down.

Eek. Hope everything's ok.

All the time unfortunately. Recently, I took apart my stove to change a part (without watching YouTube first). Figured I got this. By the time I was done stripping it down I could figure out how to get it back together. Had to buy a new stove. Turns out, I only needed to remove 2-3 pieces.

Sorry that happened.

I am notorious for turning something easy into a project way over my head

Amazingly they popped back in perfect alignment. Still a slight crease and bunting of the front lower corner. I can live with it for now until I decide on what side skirts to go with.

It's ironic. I park far away from other cars and curbs. Don't let the passenger swing the door into a high sidewalk. No food in the car. Then I go ahead and create the damage

You're in good company. Glad it's not worse.

My dad once Asked me to change a tire on my sisters car. I put the jack on what I thought was a jacking point, Jack went straight through the floor of the car. Nice hole punctured straight through
