Debating if I should take off my kit completely

Alright, as if you didnt know, all the problems with my car have been caused due to this body kit. I'm ready to take it off and leave it at my house. Its fiberglass and I really want to get a urethane kit. The shop I took it to today said they couldnt even get it on the left because of the kit and that my car is too low because of it. So now I have to put on my stock springs tomorrow just so I can get it on the lift. The kit dropped my car way more than I expected. They took a quick look at what the damage was and they thing I also have a cracked radiator now cause of what the other shop did. So now Im wondering if its worth keeping the kit on.

What are your thoughts and feelings on this subject?

they couldn't fit the lift under the car? thats weird, at honda, we have lift extenders, so we dont mess up body kits and nerf bars on trucks. that sucks though man. i would also have to say, just get rid of it and slam it. good luck bro.

there's a c'east kit, never heard of it before but I saw it a on a few sites. I just put my stock springs back on, got it checked out and the shop caused $300 worth of damage and they are paying for it. I'm not letting them do it, I'm taking it to the place where I got my whole drivers side fixed when I got sideswipped by a bus in NY. The owner there is cool as hell, showed me the car he is working on for himself which will be a show car. After he took my quote, we discussed what we both did to our cars and he showed me his kit he had brought in from Japan. All I can say is that American kits suck *** compared to this. He got it in yesterday, no imperfections, perfect. he's giving me a discount on my grill work too. I know i'll be going back there for anything else that need to get painted/put on.

I should always go to a shop I know. Never again will take it to a shop I know nothing about.

yeah I have to agree that fiberglass sucks, I'd say go with the same springs and the OEM kit if you're lookin for something thats not too low
