Wow Majik.... I'd have to say that takes some balls to drive a true veilside molded kit all winter. I'd at least get a winter beater. Of course TN winters aren't as bad as Michigan, but then our winters aren't as bad as New England either. Well, I can't speak for the U.P. They get it BAD! I feel sorry for you guys in the North East.

Well he actually removes his front bumper and uses his stock one for the winter.

Like I said before you got the kit, be prepared to spend some money on the body on a regular basis no matter when you drive it. Sh!t happens no matter what the weather. I obsess over mine all the time and it's driving me crazy. So now I have the 300zx as my beater. And it looks like the tib will only come out in the summer. i spent $3000 on the paint and within less than a year in New England it already needs to be redone to get back to where it doesn't make me cry everytime I look at it.

Yeah I didn't think it was very bad in Wisconsin, I guess if you lived in New England it would be worse though..
