body flex

I was wondering about something since I'm up in Boston and it's already snowing up here. I used to does some rally driving in open parking lots with my Lancer. But now I have a kit installed on it w/new bumbers and side skirts. Will doin some power slids and anything else in the snow flex the body too much and risk breaking the kit? I wanted to get out and mess around with my car today since it snowed but I thought against it just incase the flex might crack something. I'm thinking that it won't but I figured it be best to check on it.

If it's fiberglass, then don't risk it and if you didn't add any flexible additives with the clear coat, they will chip.
