bodykit on snow = snowplow = scratched paint = no no

I see em everywhere during the winter here (Canada, oodles of snow). If you are at a place with a decent amount of snow fall, and possible freezing rain (these are the worst), you are better off taking off your kit for the winter (if you're lowered), or get coilovers so you can raise the car for the winter easily (rather than putting stock springs on every winter).

It's so ghetto to see nice cars with nice kits have scratched up front lips!

If I had a kit and everything like you I would never drive my car in the winter

You must be crazy though to drive around with your tight kit on[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
