AFTER, PLEASE AFTER.

Besides, i don't think the 3M double sided tape would adhere as well as to spring time temp.

Besides, my car is getting KILLED with all the snow it's been hitting on the ground. +(

Well I'm not planning on lowering it anymore.... my guy says the 3M stuff will stick as long as it's cleaned properly... but the salt, snow & ice will kill the paint.... so... prolly wait for spring like you guys suggested. If I have money left over in the spring.... I'll get the 18s... OH well... no more purses for me

put it on now!

The kit eventually has to face the winter sooner or later, may as well start enjoy it.
bodykit+winter+lowered+TO winter = 1 good snow plower..

Nice kit. Not too bizarre, but does the job.

I just putted my TRD kit in June of last summer. Right now, it's holding strong, but omg, I feel so bad, the snow is hitting it, sticking on it and into the wheel well. Man, it looks horrible. Thank god it ain't figer glass.

yeah, i'd wait til after winter. after spending all that $$$ on a kit, it'd be a bummer to mess it up. looks really good and good luck on the install.

p.s. get the cf hood if not for looks then for performance.
