Snow Troubles

hello, i am in the process of saving enough money to purchase a mazdaspeed kit, however I live in Toronto, Canada. As most people probly know, we get quite a bit of snow during the winter months. My problem is id rather not become the first Rx8 snow plow.. lol if u know wut i mean. I was curious to see what kind of alternatives i have to this, like is it recomended to just replace the front bumper from mazdaspeed to stock and reverse every winter and spring?


...and just in case i get flamed for not taken proper care of the rx8, i have no choice but to drive it in the winter

I could live with plowing snow if the outcome wasnt guaranteed to be a cracked front bumper... or is it?

well if i chose to just replace the front bumper for winters, do you think it would just make my car look weird?

not at all
some forum members have just side skirts and stock front bumper
not sure of all the members
but check forum member omicron
who really knows the outcome,but last yr we had a ice storm and
my friend tried to back out of the driveway in his audi a6 and ripped a chunck off the stock bumper.ouch
made him order a rs6 bumper though
hope that helps but ask a local bodyshop in case.
