Attn: guys with greddy front end

do you guys do anything special in the winter season? i had snow once and the snow accumulated inside the bumper through the mesh... am I just being paranoid? Is it okay?

Install a set of blizzaks and use it as a snowplow.

Pointman, sorry I can't help but I really enjoyed the plow idea. The Michelin XIce would probably do a good job as well if you do decide to do some plowing.


Happy Boxing Day

Swap back your stock bumper in the winter. You will thank yourself later.

because the snow/salt if you have it will ruin the paint for one, secondly that bumper is fiberglass and it would be a shame to see it crack in the cold or from plowing upsome major snow.

The cold will make it easier to crack meaning if you hit or scrap anything, it'll be easier to chip it or crack the bumper. Also if you have snow packed in, I m not sure about the construction of the bumper it may be too heavy and cause it to crack also or put pressure on the screws that mount/hold up the bumper. I think the safest thing to do is swap the bumpers for the winter. I mean if you have the luxury of doing that , why not...
