hotrodcivic2004 should not be trusted
what warranty would it void? unless it causes your panels to fall apart....it only voids your warranty if somethign goes wrong and they prove that your body kit did it.

As it is an aftermarket thing, it might not be covered if you have a bumper to bumper warrenty...

It goes like this, springs will probably void the suspension warranty, granted that they know the springs cause the suspension problem. Exhaust will void the exhaust warranty... again as long as they prove it caused the problem and so on

even if you have a shock go on you and you have different springs they legally have to prove it is the springs. now they will win that example case easily over you, but for example if your alternator goes then they cant blame it on your body kit or rims, lol.

a body kit has the same effect on your car as paint or a OEM spoiler...... it doesnt add or take away any pressure from the car that could cause any possible failure

yup.. magnusonmoss act.

in order for them to void your warranty for a specific problem, they have to prove the aftermarket part caused the damage.

so if your starter goes, or your axle breaks, they can't say it was your aftermarket springs.

sideskirts will only void like the body panel parts they are connected to at most.

It shouldnt void anything mechanically... but if you drill holes into the body of the car to install the sideskirts and it causes rust or damage to the panels-- then you might have some problems... other than that, you should be fine.
