Hey Fellas, Finally the forums are back up!!! Anyways I was driving up the line at emissions the other day and the man walked up to my window and said " if your gonna get emissions done here you need to take the body kit off and put on stock tires!" If this is true how am I supposed to take off the body kit without screwing up the whole body? Also the stock tires thing? Why would I have to have on stock tires? I'm pretty sure here in Colorado that its dyno rollers. I can take off the front bumper ofcourse but if i do indeed have to take off the bk, then how do i take off the side skirts without ripping off the paint? Thanks Fellas for any help!

The reasons for this are probly because they dont want to be held liable for breaking your body kit if it hits the rollers on the way in. they cant chance having a different size then stock rims/tires becuase the spedo can be off if they are bigger/smaller. which would throw off their test results.

Ya with the body kit they are just trying to watch out so that you dont blame them for anything that happens to it...which is still BS because lowered cars go in there all the time and they have no problems.
The tire thing is ALSO garbage and that tool had no clue what he was talking about. I have AWD and they couldnt drive my car on rollers..so the dude made me idle there for about 2 min. I had my rims on at the time...and they were not concerned about wheel speed and things like that. They only use a driver to test your car for the test to see how much exhaust is put out through the RPM band. Not how fast you are going. They never get it over 30.
Go to a different emissions place and they probably wont say shit.
good luck man!:thumb:
