Its really up to you, ITs not the worse thing you can do but I would not recommend it. The effects the salt have on these cars is not exactly easy to fix and if I were in the market for a new car I would not but one that was driven in the winter.

Sorry, If you are like us, you know that Every bit counts. We probably took out between 20-30 lbs under the dash and in my book that's worth the effort. AC core, Sounds deadening, misc Brackets and so on.

Lol Aye Em people lie all the time, people don't have proof they didn't drive a car in the winter but the awd drive is the reason I want a evo, less chance of sliding and easier to get back in control.

There are some weight reduction threads that go over some of the brackets and stuff under the dash that Emery and other shops have removed...

It's easy to tell if the car was driven in salt.

Sorry, They will be available on our site this week. We have a lot of one off parts that we do not put on the site but this just because we forget to add them. lol

I will get another one made this week and take pics so you guys can buy them. They are a very nice piece and help clean out the engine bay a bit.
