If it did, most every car in Canada would be out of comission come Spring time. There are lots of cars on the road with similar ground clerance to our Fit's.

i've got to agree with this. i've actually gone through a lot of snow already with my fit and have no damage to the front lip or anything.

personally i'm much more terrified of sliding off the road than i am getting any damage from snow or anything.

Illusive, how much is the drop on your Fit because I have the same lip as you. I'm contemplating on whether to drop my car or not.

i have had my plastic under the front of the car pretty badly scrapped up... also thank you to my schools inability to plow snow in a sane way.. they plowed a shit ton of snowy ice stuff into my front lip and scratced the crap outta it... oh well just an excuse to put a JDM style CF lip from Seibon on this summer!

We've been having some snow/ice here the past few days, ughhh. I made it home from work ok but my driveway was a different story. Luckily the snow was still soft so i made out ok, i'm lowered on Progress springs. I'll tel you what irritates the shit outta me though, the salt/rocks they put on the roads. I'm not sure if its the crappy Dunlops or what but they seem to pick up every little piece on the road, I'm afraid to see what the underside of my skirts look like.
