I have to be able to climb my drive way, it's already a huge hassle having to back it in, I don't want to scrape.

The eyelids are carbon fiber, you can't tell it in the picture because of the lighting.

more than necessary for what? a 20 foot projection? If you are going for 50 foot plus you need some pins to really hook up some flesh for the dismount.
