Also, I am an ASE certified tech..........although i don't work in a shop i got certified before............Ford's have notoriously weak frames, at the Ford school in Colorado there is i think a taurus? and anyways, the lift was put on the wrong points and the whole frame crumpled up. Not to mention if u measure 2 civic body panels they will be identical, can't say the same for Ford.........no 2 ford panels match even though they are the same part..........and thats from a 20 year Ford technician
