So, I tried jacking the car in a couple spots - it actually doesn't open up more than .060" over closed gap on either side.
.090" when jacked by the plate intended for the factory jack - that is the gap value I want when on the floor. I spoke to the bodyshop today - I'm going to take the metal trunk lid & Dallara wing to them on Wednesday for paint - and asked him about putting it on a frame machine to open it up an 3/16- 1/8" on the left. He hummed & haaa'd a bit, then said sure, we could work that out. Sounds like the best plan to me, thanks for suggesting it. I honestly thought no bodyshop would want to deal with it, so it didn't occur to even ask.
