Thanks jb.
The trunk lid and spoiler have moved as far as they can, given the original mount positions. The contact point spans several inches. I only need a few millimeters, and I've thought about just slightly re-shaping the trunk edge, but insofar as it is a folded metal edge, I am not sure if this wouldn't open up another can of worms. Besides, it goes against my nature to address one out-of-spec component by taking another out-of-spec.
I've also been playing with the idea of suspension upgrades, and if I have any frame issues then I want them resolved before I start messing with the suspension.
But yeah, while I'm willing to spend some money to make this right, if it costs $6K to get on one of these machines then I will get out the sander / grinder and see what happens. Trunk lids are not too expensive.
I was wondering how beneficial/necessary these dedicated frame machines are to this type of work, if there were other choices in the SouthEast, and if anyone had any references.
