Body kit ...
I went down to a body shop to see how much it would be to get the kit installed and painted for me and the guy said it wont last more then 2 weeks cause it is going to be so low it was going to rip right off on curb , speed bumps and pot holes, so he didnt even want to do it and never gave me a price , (so im not going to him ) but i wanted to know if you guys have any real problems and i think it should be fine with 18 rims and taller profile tires, :banghead:

Check out my '94 Camaro. It was lowered and had a body kit on it and it wasn't nearly as bad as people make it out to be. Just watch it on really steep driveways and speed bumps but other than that I didn't have any problems at all. The very back of the bottom had some scrapes on it but that was it and no one could even see it.
Check out pictures here - http://www.projectcamaro.net/gallery...?c=3&userid=74
Here's a picture of my '94 and my '99 when it was stock to show how low it really was.

Yeah you really won't have to worry about it, the only thing that I really ever scraped was the air dam but that's because Wings West sent one that was much larger than the stock one to make sure the car picked up enough air to cool the engine.

ye man itll be fine.. chads right about the new wings west air dam.. thats all that ever scrapes on mine.. you dont need higher profile tires.. itll look stupid.. trust me i had em..
and you wont have the larger air dam with the 98+ kit i dont think..
only time i ever ripped mine off was pulling up to far in parking spaces.. you got to be careful with tall curbs or those wheel stops in parking spaces..

Did you have to pay extra for it? Cause I didn't get one with mine. I bet that's part of the reason my car is getting hotter than normal. It's been running at about 200 for the last couple of weeks, and I still haven't been able to figure out why.......I'll bet that's it.
