Side skirts and clearance?

[TalonRacer18]

I was wondering if i put a body kit on my car, if i got a flat tire how would i get the jack to fit under the side skirt that kinda scares me that it wouldnt fit. Also when i need to take it to the shop how will they put it on the lift without cracking it?

i've got a kit. the jack that's in your trunk (along with the spare tire) has a VERY low clearence....i have two of them and they're the ONLY way i can jack my car up. my car is dropped 2", so it's pretty low. any shop lift that you have to drive "up" onto is gonna be tricky. you'll have to either take the kit off everytime or, what i do, just use some long wood planks to extend the slope.

what really sucks is if your car ever has to be towed for some reason...my tranny went and i had to have my $hit towed to the dealership, i took my entire front bumper off and they still fugged the car up.

Kinda sucks huh? I have about a 1.75 inch drop on my Eclipse and have the RMDSM chin spoiler on the front, and have had my car towed twice. PAIN IN THE ARSE!!! I had to get the heavy biatch on the flatbed using wood, textbooks, and still some scraping to get the thing up there.

Use the stock jack, the best one I have seen yet although not the easiest to use. Modding cars is usually a give and take relationship. For something you add to the car you will lose something in return like Springs for Rides smoothness.
