What little custom touches have you done to your cars?

Well, I have a few that have already been mentioned, but here's one.....

How many of you have had your car up on jacks or in my case, a KwikLift, and spent time rolling around under the car on a creeper just to finish, roll out, sit up, and BANG!!, hit your head on the quickjack? Hit it right and you're a real bleeder. It hangs out there like a talon just waiting to gouge you.

I made some soft covers for the quickjacks that slip on and off just for this purpose. Will post pics later. Christmas Eve now. Merry Christmas all!

That's a good idea. I might do the same thing. I also shortened the posts for the quick jacks, tucking them in a lot closer to the body. I don't bark my shins on them very often.

Anyone try flipping the quickjacks so they extend towards the car? Many originals had them that way I believe. Someone could confirm that...
