Has anyone had problems jacking up their car with the seibon tp style carbon fiber lip kit installed? I just noticed it covers the spot underneath the car where the jack usually sits. Dealership couldn't do my oil change today. I don't mind going to jiffy lube if I must, but jiffy lube doesn't do brake fluid so now I'm wondering if I have to remove the side skirts for each tune up session. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I have the same problem with my skirts. The dealership though took the time to jack up the car manually so they could get the hoist underneath it.

My advice is to go and buy a 2x8 and have it cut into 4 pieces and bring those with you to the dealership. You can lay them in front of your tires and drive up onto them. It might give the dealership enough clearance to get their hoist under your car.

Likewise, you could also suggest, that they use the jacks for the LFA on your car to raise it up to get the hoist underneath it. Not all dealerships are approved to work on the LFA though.

My problem is the side skirt covers the area that the jack is suppose to sit on. I never noticed this when I made my purchase. I have no spot to jack up my car. Looks like my options is to remove the lip or have the jack lift up my car from the inner side of the lip which would destroy it.

That's what I was afraid of, lol. Such a hassle. They should of designed it with gaps where the car jack sits.

Why not just take the skirts off and use a Dremel to cut an area out of the skirt so the jacking point is exposed?

You could probably do this with the skirts on the car too if needed.

I considered that option. I really didn't want it to come to that. If I can find a shop that has a pit and does brake fluid. That would be perfect.

I'd give it more thought if I were you.

How do you expect to repair a flat tire of you can't access the jack point.

And changing the brake fluid without removing the rims is nearly impossible.

I might have to cut out rectangle gaps where the jacking points are and maybe brush some risen on the open edges.
