How do I remove a body kit?
I'm looking at a corvette with a daytona body kit. I dont like it and would like to remove it. The guy said it has been fiberglassed in. How hard is it going to be to get the kit off? What special tools or whatever will be needed? Any idea of how much it will cost me to get it off?

if its molded in like he says, i have to back everyone else...buy another car man...there's a lot of bargain c3's around, and you can buy a chrome bumper daily driver for what you'll be paying for a whole new set of body panels and all the labor, and full repaint.

And then there's thousands for paint after the body is fixed. Find the car you want and buy it.
