When does everyone( who lives in states that actually get snow or crappy weather) start throwing on body kits, rims, wheels, etc.

Is next week too early?

 

I would say too early... ya. You never know what March is going to bring.

I'd say mid March or so. Then again, I don't have nice wheels or a kit.

 

i live in new york, and ive had rims and tires, brand new, since 3 weeks ago. doesnt matter if its too early or all that. body kit, i would wait in case it snows. it snowed one day and i have chrome rims, and i didnt drive thru all that salt, but if it snows again, i might change wheels/tires.

 

I'd say beginning of March or so... although here in NY we had a snow storm in April last year

 

I usually wait till April, at least if it's anything that will require a lot of labor. The weather can change too fast, and get too cold in March for my liking.

 

any time the weather is nice summer is just way too hot

 

ahh.i see,lol

My car is more or less stock right now
first bodykit,first rims/tires.getting it lowered.painted

figured id pay and have them put aside in the shop for me
*yawn*.i dont wanna wait anymore.this winter sucks @ss

 

wait till they stop salting the roads.

 

Noob question.
What's with the salt..damages rims or body kits or something or...
I have my 04 toyota tacoma..in case it snows or whatnot.just wondering if the weather/salt would affect the rims or bodykit that much


thanks.

 

well salt will eat everything, but tends mostly to eat at the underbody of the car, the exhaust, and any place where you have a scatch on the car. metal and salt do not get alot well with each other!

 

oh.i see
so chrome rims+ salt =rims falling off and car flipping over?lol
j/k

they should really use somethingelse besides friggin tablesalt
or maybe i should just move out of this stupid state(region)

 

well, they actually use rock salt, not table salt. i dont think their is any chemical difference, just a difference in size.

 

doesnt' help my situation.lol

 

well concidering this f'ed up weather, i think it may snow again. i would wait a month or so yet.

yes the salt sucks, i believe now they are starting to use a liquid anti-icing agent on highways but still you car ends up covered

 

im not worried about my car getting stuck or dirty.just dont want my rims deteriorating

but oh well =\ friggin New england blows

guess ill wait til march

 

ive had my chromes on for like 2 weeks now...
ohio sucks
its either rainging or snowing........year round.....
so my wheels are covered in salt
theier fine
when they get dirty
just powerwash em
o
and polish em first
its like wax.

 

yeah.well id definately be ashing it.
just dont wnana mess anything up
