Post Just curious - Anyone ever have their body kit or spoiler come off?

Before I installed my kit, I called a body shop about installation. They indicated that they did not install kits because the body kits could come off.
The image of my kit coming off keeps creeping into my head; I guess I'll eventually get over it after I have had it on for awhile.

I don't have a body kit, but i would imagine that it is hard to come off. Like i know how the body kits fit on the car (i've taken the factory sides off along with the bumper), and it takes a lot of energy and time. I would doubt the body kit would be any different.

Actually, the wings west is totally different. It doesn't use any of the same clips as the factory skirts. It's just adhesive and screws/bolts.

Not really come off but I know a friend of mine ripped off his bodykit becuase he hitted a pothole... I doubt that anything will happen during everyday driving, although they can...

if i were you just take it to a good body shop and have them take a good look at it to see if u do everything right. you dont wanna have something like ur kit falling off on the highway or anything.

I banged mine up pretty good and it just bent the bracket so it had a gap. I took my bumoer off and bent it back. That was it.

i've had my kit on since i got it in early 2000, and nothing has come close to coming loose. even when my dad hit the front a couple times, its still on tight. now, if you hit a hole real hard, i dunno, but i don't really see it falling off . . .
