Don't have a problem using the jack but don't want to use the tire tool on my brand new chrome lug nuts.

One of the great things about this body style is a hugh trunk! I haven't had to use my spare yet, but it doesn't match the wheels I currently have on the car in appearance, but the important thing is it does match in size. I carry a restored jack and have a cover over it, but I also carry smaller scissor jack so I don't have to use the bumper jack and a four way! No body has every looked under the cover at a show
