bodykit and/or lip kits are good to remove! rims must go.

how low does it hang from the bottom of the bumper? basically if its lower than other, stock, parts of the car...like some huge fart cannons are, then id remove it. better safe than sorry. if its normal sized like the RS*R exhausts then no;keep it its not going to get touched. then again better safe than sorry.
in one word: yes.

if i was you i would take off cold air intake if you have one, body kit for sure (if you crash you will lose them and they are not covered by insurance, at least by my insurance) oh and if you have stock rims put them on. aluminum likes to break when you slide into a curb. Drive safely so this **** doesn't happen but the best thing to do is put the car in a garage for the winter if you can.

prob not. ceramic is pretty good with heat. keep in mind brake pads are somethimes ceramic so im assuming huge changes in temperature over a few seconds shouldnt hurt them. you may want to get an engine block heater if you park in a garage though.
hondaautomotiveparts.com has them im pretty sure.
