Bodykits/Sideskirts Clearance and Repair Shop, Your experience/knowledge Options

[Celicav]

I'll admit, I get paranoid before I do something to the Celi that I am unsure about. I have one more question before I make my final decision on getting the 404 Sideskirts (VIS, Erebuni, whatever).

So, if I put these things on, should I be worried about whether maintenance shops will work on my car. Specifically, if you get your oil changed or tires rotated and balanced at a shop, they will put the car on a lift and the underbody/frame of car will sit on top of the lift. If the sideskirts are the lowest hanging thing on the underbody of car, this could be a problem (weight of car supported by sideskirts), unless the wheels are sitting on the lift instead.

Let me hear your experiences for those with aftermarket sides or bodykit...will the sideskirts present a problem, or are they pretty flush with the frame of the car?

Thanks for listening.

Thanks, j. It has just been a while since I've been to the shop for anything, so I could not picture Exactly how a car is or can be posititioned on the lift. I would imagine most can be adjusted inward or outward. I mentioned this to a Toyota service rep in town, and she mentioned that in some cases they may have to put a car on alignment lift (wheels stay on lift) if the kit is too extreme. My car is only lowered 1", and I just plan to do 404 sides and OEM extensions front and rear.
