add berlina black to the list. check a plasticote import color manual at a parts store for the type of black your model year is or a bodyshop can tell you based on the color code in the doorjam.

Thats right. and if you dont do that, you can go hardcore, and place the shock between two tires and CAREFULLY turn that one bolt till the spring POPS off...

all i did was push one end on the ground, and stick my spare over the other end, and got my friend to use the impact to unscrew it,...it shoots up about 6 inches...and scary as **** if you dont expect it...
