Splitter in winter?

I was looking at getting an APR splitter just so i dont have to worry about the stupid undertray all the time. Would driving the car in winter with the splitter on hurt or damage the splitter at all?

well if your car is lowered, by your signature i'd assume no, you SHOULD be ok. If it is lowered you are definitely going to be a snow plow / shovel So some damage could happen....it all depends on where you drive...

Im in the chicago area, so one day there can be a foot of snow, the next it could be 70 and sunny.

IMO APR splitter < stock undertray. I don't like how you lose coverage area under your car with the APR. IMO just more salt spraying up into your engine bay.

I lost my APR splitter while going thru a puddle. I would imagine snow etc.. would even be worse. The splitter is a bad idea for daily driving.

I have absolutley NO intentions of my Evo even seeing snow, forget about actully driving it in some.

I have to start out slow, with rain first.
