So far so good in the fit dealing with snow. The only issues it has is since it is lowered I have to be careful of any deep snow drifts or snow piles. I have almost gotten stuck once when I tried to gun it through some deep snow. There was a giant splash from my front bumper and lip hitting the snow pile then I got stuck for half a second and started to chug along again.

I will see if I can get some pics of the snow.

I took this picture Sunday night. That pile of snow is from shoveling and snow blowing the driveway. It is about 6' tall in that pic and with the new snow from this morning it is probably 7' tall now and will be getting taller. We have a 3' deep piles along the rest of the drive way past that giant pile.

Hey any tips on trying to get unstuck from snow? in an automatic I used to "rock" it, reverse and shift to D and then repeat.....works brilliantly. However, in my manual, it's so hard to do, since when the wheel got stuck in the snow, I don't get the same feedback when the engine is about to cut, so I stall like 50 times in one day.....

I guess i can leave the clutch half de-pressed, but that will wear the clutch out in no time....
