Don't try this at home
I just put my GMMG on last weekend. Here is a couple warnings from my rhino ramp 8000's.
"Do not use with cars that have greater than 7.5" tread width."
"Adapters or attachments are only to be supplied by the manufacturer."
Eh, what do they know?

I personally havent jacked the car up since I got it but the drivers side fender is pushed out some already.
Oh, and the exhaust is clean AND MEAN!

First off, thanks for the exhaust props fellas.
2nd, LuvmeZ there's no way to get gmmg on without lifting the car some way.
3rd, I do stand corrected in regards to the factory lift points. I'm aware I'd be jacking the car up in the rear. I havent even bought a floor jack/stands yet. No need to climb up my back guys I just have seen a few threads about it, and should have looked into it more (would have after buying a jack). All is well.
