    I've done this. Just went digging through my photo albums and can't find a picture. Pretty odd considering I've taken pictures of almost every mod.

    I'll try and get a picture later today.

    What you'll need to do depends in part on which coilovers you have. You'll need to modify more than just the interior, you'll need to drill some metal as well. Did your coilovers come with a flexible extension that you can attach to the adjusting mechanism at the top of the shock?

    I did this project, too. I have pics, but I'm not sure which SD card holds the pics.

    I can tell you this:

    If you still want the interior to look "clean", you will need to remove plastic interior panels.

    You will need a doorknob hole cutter that is designed for metal doors.

    I'll see if I can find the SD card with the pics...
