Shifty is on a distinguished road
just put your oem one back on, thats what i do. Besides, why risk smashing it when snow or ice wont let you stop until the car infront of you becomes your brakes...lol.

I have a CF hood on my car right now, I waxed it last Friday and a week later it had 15in. of snow on it plus a 1/4in layer of ice. Its still good, but my hood cracked in sept. which was only 2 months after I got it.

So snow is fine for CF, even a **** ton cause mine got it's test on friday.
