Indeed. I intend to do a semi useless but hopefully useful DIY for an 09. Now I just need my RaceRamps to be here in time.

First time with Royal Purple too but this is my first oil change on the 09. Also intend to use this on the Saturn Sky.

By the way, does anyone use RaceRamps?

Hoping that they are low/long enough with the smaller incline than Rhino Ramps such that they won't rub the bumper.

my car is really low especially with that lip and it wouldnt go up without rubbing or it would BARELY clear but i wasnt willing to risk it so what you can do it have 2 ppl lift by the front wheel arches just a little for the initial climb then your good to go but mine woulda just BARELY touched so yours should be fine

Those are the ones I got. I used their little quick check measurement thing and I should be ok. The R3 front lip sits kinda low but not as low as yours (I don't think judging by the pics)
