I'm just wondering, is it worth puttng a body kit on my car (once I get it), if I'm going to have to drive it in Minnesota winter weather (ice, snow, etc.)?

How hard would it be to put it on/remove it every Spring and Winter?

Any help is appreciated.
 
If you're going with a low body kit, I would suggest coilovers so you can at least raise the car in the winter. I plow through the snow around here with my car at stock height. The city not plowing the roads doesn't help either.
 
i dont think it will be that hard to replace the bumpers 2 times a year, once the aftermarket kit is fit, you are able to take it off and on with no problems. WHy wouldnt you be able to? I was thinking of getting the evo or BC kit and doing the same thing
 
My Vader Front Bumper is easy to remove, 4 screws under the hood, two nuts and bolts holding both sides onto the body..its very easy to remove...though not really pratical if your weather in the winter is off and on all the time.
 
changing a bumper 2 times a year isnt bad if you think about it. Alot of ppl on this site do their own work on their cars which requires them to take off the bumpers. I say go for it
