Default Probably a liability issue

If the car is lowered to begin with, a body kit lessens the clearance that much more. They don't want to pay for any damage to your kit when they service it. If you have coilovers, raise them up and see if they'll try it again.

I live in boston and tried the exact same thing. I had rieger sides on mine and the problem is the jack points are higher than the skirts. The only way to do it easily is on an alignment lift that comes from underneath and not from the sides. Then if you have a low front it is damn near impossible to drive it up on one with out rubbing. I ended up taking mine off. Im probably the reason NTB wouldnt try. Was it the one in revere?

Default There's a guy with a green oettinger b6 on here that had the dealer bust up his side skirts

I agree that it sucks they wouldn't even try...but if they don't feel comfortable doing it, take it somewhere else. The last thing you want is to be rolling around with a busted kit because you forced the dealer to do the work.

jus sayin'

Default Try Direct Tire in Watertown...

pricey, but they deal with some high end cars. Maybe they can assist. Just don't be suprised at the prices.

Find a dealer or tire shop that services corvettes. Your car looks just as low.
