Im definitely taking off the front, but should i take off the rest??

Im in philly and theres not that much snow.

But im afraid that when i have ice on the kit when it falls of or something it can take the paint off with it.

Dude...you will get snow. PLease learn to mod the car, and deal with the consequences. Be prepared to change parts of the car according to weather conditions. It's difficult to have a nice looking car year round, and have it be safe at the same time. It's more true when you live in areas that get snow. If you take anything off, be ready to take everything off....like those wheels that probably have summer tires on also.

First, you should know how Pennsylvania winters are. If you're worried about paint being removed, you should be worried about where you took it to get painted. I lived in Pittsburgh for 6 years and salt never got rid of any paint on my car. Second, wash it weekly. That should eliminate any problems with salt that you will ever have. Make sure you get the underbody wash. Good to go.

I had the same with my SE-R but no kit just lowered a crap load. man I hated that i would scrape on the smallest speed bumps on the cat. and I had to cross 2 speed bumps in the highschool parking lot every day.

Lip kit is off and washed.

The hardest part of the whole process was pealing the double stick tape off.

That 3m stuff STICKS!!!

It took me couple of min to pull of the front, it wasnt going anywhere.

Yea,,, ill be there with ya poowill next year, im trying to pick up a 350z by next winter.
