those with bodykits (not oem kit), drivable in winter w/ heavy snow?

I'm slowly thinking about modding my RX8 and so far I want to get

mazdaspeed spoiler
Racing Beat side/Rear
INGS+ 1 front bumper.

Think I can drive this thing all year around in Canada weather? ( from calgary)

those with Mazdaspeed front, do you have trouble in the snow ( if you even drive it in the snow)

thanks

I would like to second this question with, "Do you get the aftermarket mods, especially the Front and Sides caught on speedbumps and other roadway nuisances? I am looking at installing the Veilside VS D1-GT or the Mazdaspeed.

I figure if you get about a hand's breadth under the spoiler, you're OK for plowed roads; anything else, and forget it. Even with stock height you're going to clip snow bunnies all the time. Anything lower, and you might as well put out the Mr. Plow sign and get a catchy jingle.
