Body kits

Anyone have any idea why most body shops don't do body kits?

I would assume that those that don't do it don't want to deal with fitment issues, cracking, etc. that could make them look bad even though it's not their fault.

that’s a big reason - a long time family friend owns a body shop and he hates working with aftermarket crap

There are also liability issues if they have to mess with things like removing crash beams like the CWest bumper.

This one body shop in Jersey told me the exact same thing. Especially with the replica kits.
