Best Winter Mod Ever

Figure this is going to be a good way to earn some extra P-car fun money this winter... Lol

Now I understand why my COA stated that my car came with "Canadian Equipment"...plus you realize that if you don't get it corner balanced its not going to handle worth a darn.

I think a 911 would do better than a 928 in the snow!

It's a Honda color. I can never remember the name, but it is nice that I can get touchup paint at the local autoparts store... I'm not too neurotic about scratches and such, tho, as its a DD and my philosophy is cars are meant to be driven...The best drives are the ones with mountain bikes on the roof heading up the awesome Colorado canyons; paved and not paved...

Well, it seems you've figured out how to even out the weight distribution!

Awesome picture.

looks like a lot of stress on the front valance....I am surprised it can handle the weight - what size bolts did you use

Notice the trick part. There is no snow, and with global warming there won't be any either.

The weight isn't on the valance, it's on the rubber air dam. Use really big washers for that.

You should no longer have an issue 'plowing' when going into corners.

Do you think the front end will scrape when entering your driveway?

It's now at a 50/50 weight distribution.
