Body Kit vs Winter Months

I have an 03 Lancer ES and was looking at buying a evo 7 techsport body kit (hood, front and rear bumper, side skirts), but I was just curious about the winter, is it guna have to be removed every winter? I would love to have the kit and have to drive my car during the winter. do I have any options here? do all kits require you to us that 3M tape to hold them in place? I am still a noob and would love some help as I would love to be able to install the kit myself.

lol mostly like bodykits u gonna get is fiberglass...so itll be a biiiitttch to drive in the winter because bodykits usually sits lower than stock parts...plus the fact fiberglass is very fragile..literally when u go out on a cold snowy winter day and you hit ice, expect cracking of the paint...and yes repairing fiberglass isnt cheap if you arent a DIY guy!

i have a body kit on myself but i wont be looking to drive it often

Many of our accolade customers in Canada are fearless with their body kits.

Here is a video of one of our customers for the Lancer 04-07 with the Evo8 Body kit racing on a course in the snow there.

The Techsport is not that low so you should be okay.
