Default Car failed? Too low?

wtf. I went to this shop this morning that I've been going to for over 4 years.. passed with my eclipse when it was lowered. then went with my VW for 2 years. Now I failed? If I take it to another shop that is more lenient.. do you all think they would fail me right away cause of the rejection sticker too?

scrape it off just before you get to the other shop, tell them the cars been sitting for awhile and you are just now getting it running, IF they even ask about it.

If you turn the front wheels all the way to the right or left, and the tire doesnt touch the fender, they cant fail you for height, there is also an actually measurement from the top of the bumper support to the ground that they can go by, but stock corvettes fail out of the box, so i have never seen anyone use that.
