I don't know you but if that happens to me it will be like unwrapping a present.
A cool experience.

It was kinda fun... Don't get to use my floor jack often enough... Doing the first one took about 10-12 minutes (counting taking photos). Second one (no photos, just business) took 3 minutes. Easy Peasy.

Same issue with the new S2000 almost 23 years ago now. Maybe the dealers/ mechanics forgot....

Great guide! I was very curious about this.

PDI is kind of a joke these days. We picked up our MX-5 with 40 psi in all the tires and the tie-down plugs uninstalled. Might as well have done nothing at all, since I would've much preferred to take off all the plastics myself.
