    fiberglass body and winter

    Hey guys up north with body kits,

    How well does it hold up during winter . ... any signs of crackign and whatnot just from driving around. how about snow? does hitting the chunks of white crap after it's plowed (you know crap on the sides of the road. . .more like brown) make it break?

    im just wondering since im going to be drinvg my car up to NY for winter break and it's gonna have a brand new kit on there and im just thinkng of what could happen..

    either htat i would just take my dad's camry. . . not as fun to drive and no tv screen. . .eh


    thanks,

            well if you can, hike up your suspension and hope for the best.. .so long as you don't hit a horrible snow storm, you should be ok.

                I am from New York.

                In the winter , everyone up here takes there body kits off. If you hit a pile of snow with your fiberglass bumper. It will be byebye bumper.

                The snow is harder than you think
