Snow Plow For My G35 Coupe

I'm looking to get a snow plow to mount on the front of my G35 Coupe so I can use it to clear my driveway and maybe make some cash on the side by clearing some driveways in my neighborhood and possibly some local parking lots.

Does anyone know of a good plow or the best way to hook one up to my G? I realize that I'll probably have to put some bigger tires with offroad or M/S tires on the car and possibly add chains, but it will be worth it. I'm thinking that I may also need to add a small suspension lift to the car so that I can see over the plow.

Another positive of doing this is that the controls for the plow will look really good in the cabin next to my factory Navigation unit, and the car already has heated seats.. so it will be real comfortable for plowing on those cold winter days.

Thoughts?

The G is an excellent platform to start with. Remove the towhook cover, slap in the tow hook, get a wooden broom stick and shove it through there. Then, using Elmer's glue, glue on a bunch of wooden planks to the broom stick. 10 minutes of drying should do the trick.

EDIT: The stock tires will do fine.

Lower the front 2" to get the most surface area.

I can't believe DillersG actually said that!

O and for those that are extremely dumb....I was kidding, and I'm sure the OP was too.

You can still let me drive the Viper! A friend of mine has an 06 SRT10. It's a blast to drive, but not for more than an hour at a time.

Great Idea

I have been doing that for some time now.......it's great money in the winter months.

Here is what you need to do.

You need to install airbags on your G so you can raise it and lover it when ever you want.

For a snow plow I used a NISMO front bumper.
It is very nice because it does not have any big openings in the front so it plows snow very well and you can control the height and amount of snow you gonna plow with your air suspension.

As for the tires I went with all season Vredestain Ultrac Sessanta............Not the best choice but it worked.

Here's some of the pictures of the setup

Joker you needs the snow plow front spoiler from the old Camaro/Firebird they work better than the Nismo front bumper.

I'll take pictures when I get a chance.
