Default Ground Effects Question

I have been thinking about getting the Rk Sport or Wings West Ground Effects. But I have been wondering how camaros with Gfx or bodykits get there oil changed. The way I do it is I take the car to a fast lube and they drive it on a lift and change the oil. But with that front spoiler or lip it will rip right off as soon as the car drives up the lift. Also if I plan on putting suspension mods I would have to put it on a lift to get under the car right. That would be another issue. Its not a daily driver so I am not worried about dips or speed bumps. Any suggestions would really help.

2002 SOM Z28 Camaro M6 Whisper Lid, Cutout.

Just use some 2x6's and drive the front tires on them. Thats what i do with lowered car and ground effects. Lift it on the passenger side frame that way all the oil comes out.

I have the WW kit on my TA. If your car is not lowered the extra front trim piece wont be a problem. The only thing that scrapes on mine is the plastic air dam under the car.
