Having a body kit when its snowing.

I was thinking about getting a body kit, but then I got to thinking about when it snows. Wouldnt you think it would be a problem to drive a car with a body kit (usually means lower clearance) in the snow, because if the roads arent cleared. The kit may end up being torn off.

Yes, that's a possibility I suppose. But then if the snow is over 5 inches deep, would you really want to be driving your '8 in it anyway? :D

icic, thanks for the input. I had to take my friend to the airport this morning, but turns out it was snowing. I thought it wouldnt be that bad, but my 8 was sliding everywhere. (i bought snow tires but hadnt put them on yet). I had to borrow my cousins' car instead, and after I dropped him off, I waited for the snow to clear, and put the snow tires on my 8. Useless story, but point is, the Snow tires are awesome:-) (Bridgestone LM22)
