Do you have a tram gauge to measure your frame points with?

Very nice job TurboBRZ, i wish i could have more space and tools in my garage to do this kind of work and skills too ! . Right now i can only do simple stuff.
It is very hard to say how much i have shift in geometry. If not 3mm step at driver side wing compared to driver-side door, i would say where is no shift, because it is hard to see difference like that, and i don't have idea how to do the measurement
Energy absorber was hit near support, so it redirected collision object to front right wheel, and thus mush shifter rails a bit to to left side, that why i have step between doors and wing i think. Here is some photos
I am also preparing to paint exhaust system in black heat resistant paint, i don't know will it do much good, but it should give some extra life for exhaust system, to to salt in winter. I will paint muffler part, cat part and some heat shields where is not splash protection panels. Small portion of exhaust near the engine is already covered, so i leave it as it is.
