Anyone have suggestions for body kits that keep the ground clearance on the TC?

I would like to change the body visually, but I don't wan to be plowing snow (i live in CT... we get a decent amount of snow) or chewing up my kit on driveways & parking curbs. :nails:

Or is the basic rule: don't use kits on everyday cars? :no:

Dont buy oversize kits anyways because it looks like trash.

Get the kit from the dealer, it feeds your want to look different than everyone else, but still having good ground clearance...

Most people who run into issues with clearance is due to the fact that they usually lower there cars too....the rice boy never dies in a lot of people.. and some of those people just happen to buy tCs :nails: Im waiting for a really ugly tC with a roof wing to come out ...die rice boys

hehe, it doesn't get a WHOLE lot worse than this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v442/SinOfDreams/Randy/P2200140.jpg) right now.

well, I really like the the vengence (http://www.tctunerz.com/images/stories/albums/pjc-ps/will_sciontC_main_27.jpg) but I don't know if that guy had his car lowered, or if with that kit I'll have problems no mater what.

it looks like it's losing a good 6 inces there. :ponder:

Yeah, that's lowered. And you would loose some clearance... You could try to go for one of the replacement bumpers, but to my knowledge all of the kits out for the tC lower the body at least a little.

For sure i'm gettin this one http://www.tctunerz.com/gallery/pjc-ps?page=4
I know the ground clearance is good on those pictures looks that it's not but the car is lowered of cource as you can see. This is the best looking body kit/ground effect kit at least for me.

imo the only tasteful body mod is the oem lip kit. all the body kits i've seen so far are way too show-ish and aggressive. hopefully someone comes out with a clean/functional kit sometime soon.
