yeah mine got snowed on by a freak storm in the middle of OCTOBER! now its nestled in my room with my wheels and tires... all near my bed for safe keeping

itll be fine... like they said just dont brush it, go powerwash it.

send me pics of your car some time rdizzle, i know youve come a super long way and id love to see it/talk about spring plans!

[Rdizzle]

^no prob, i'll send you some pics when i get the new wheels on. And feel free to hit me up with spring plans. I always like running mine past someone who has a worthwhile opinion.

I think the CF will be fine. I mean think of CF hoods, they undergo high heat from the engine, so it should take the cold

edit: on second thought, could the freezing cause it to crack??

[PtBaller]

There wont be any damage at all from the snow. The only thing that would be a problem is if you drove out on salted roads so you don't have anything to worry about.

[MRQtwinturbo]

hood should be fine....i've seen some last a few winters w/o any problems as long as its been polished/waxed in summer time...

[DAMON]

sweet man, hit me up on aim sometime if you have it---> camryonbronze

[Eye8Pussies]

cf ha sno problems with snow as long as it's taken care of....ask all the civic owners...in TO

[Rdizzle]

Well i gave it a good wax just before this so i am hoping it minimized the possibilty of damage. I'm just worried about the 1/2inch thick coating of ice all over it. Hoping it won't crack.

The CF hood componente or part that will fail when too cold is the resin, so it is wise to prevent impacts such as large stone impact, whacki with snow brush to crakc freexing rain and ice etc from happening.

When the temps are low, the resin (plastic) material is more prone to brittle fracture, But the CFibre will not lose strength.

Remember it is a Matrix material.

your car doesnt look red at all...

How come you guys are so worried about the snow? I can only think of noe person who doesn't remvoe their CF hood in the winter here..mine was on last witner and it was fine, ice snow, w/e. Just wax it up before winter. Why can't you brush it with a snow brush? You know your gunna buff it again with the rest of your car come spring time anyways.
