i just recently installed my kit so I don't have much experience with it in the snow....but I can imagine the front lip becoming a makeshift snow plow of sorts.......hopefully it'll never snow that much ever again. Originally posted by K Pazzo 6

For all the snow we've had in Chicago lately, I wouldn't know. Originally posted by K Pazzo 6

I've played snow plow in my '96 Contour SE, though. More than 4 or 5 inches of snow, and you'll have a problem. You get snow buildup in front of the car, and if it gets under it, it lifts the front wheels high enough to lose traction.
Last year when I got a couple of two foot drifts in back of my garage, it took a lot of shoveling before I could get the Max out to the street...

If the front valance on your kit is really low, I'd see about taking public transportation on really bad days, or rig something up to remove the front pieces... (Wing nuts?)
What do you guys in Buffalo do?
