go buy a cheap winter beater pickup. Get a little s-10 or something. Make runs for getting parts easy Everyone needs a truck now and then.

Yeah, just remember that if you get a cheap pickup, it's gotta be a 4x4, there's no weight in the rear end and they're useless in the snow without it.

I agree...you wouldn't want to chance messing up your car, and it sounds like it's close to being set up how you want it to be. So I'd look for a cheap car so you dont have to mess with your Accord, and if it gets dents, scratches or chips...will it matter?

Yeah I live in California and we never worry about snow or weather conditions here. Maybe if you go up on the mountains though, but nobody in their right mind will take their modified, lowered car deliberately through snow. That's just plain wrong.

I think you should buy a beater and just drive that around. If you're on a family insurance plan, it can even lower the overall by putting your car under your parents name. That's why I have my beater (even though I never drive it).

Buy a beater or don't buy a body kit.

It does not get cold enough around here to matter.

I'm in iowa... buttcrack of the USA.

I park the Accord and Mustang in winter and drive a Festiva that i keep under a tarp in a storage unit for the rest of the year.

The festiva runs good with 320,000 miles on it and only cost me 100.00. this winter im going to give it a SWEET bright breen spray paint job.. last years grey but im tired of it.

Winter beater: thats my suggestion.

MEEP MEEP!!




PS - I'm originally a Floridian.. and if California is anything like Florida... you couldnt pay me to live there. Not to mention Iowa and Florida have no emissions
