Its definitely bad for the bra cuz the salt on the road soaks into the bra and when the salt water dries you've got a white powdery looking salty bra

now that I have headlight covers I'm wondering if theres anything that can happen to them in the winter?

will they be more likely to break in the extreme cold and espcially on the highway with all the air blowing over it on the front side and the heat from the engine hitting the back side?

Also has ne1 put on their snow tires yet for the winter? It did snow a little bit this past weekend.

The one for the 4th gens used to get dirty

on the back of the headlight covers dunno if there's still that problem with the 5th. Back when I had headlight covers, black and CF, I never had any problems with them. However they do reduce the light output even with the CF ones.

Take them off for the winter...

My friend used a pair of headlight cover for the winter and it got all scratched up from the sand/salt. I know that you live in the Northeastern area so play it safe by saving the covers for the warmer months to show them off. The covers might also warp from the extreme cold and hot weather we get up here. Hope this info helps you out.

I'd love to for the weather and the roads but I've got a well paying job and I just picked up a PT job doing computer work for a local business for $35/hr! Plus they'll just give me a check for the hours I put in and call it an outside expenditure so no taxes will be taken out

The other bad thing was my house was dirt cheap cuz of the buyers market in my area so its gonna be really hard to sell the house.

Find me a nice place down there and I'll migrate down there for the winters and see if my company needs help in their southern locations...hehe
