Default Bodykit on now or wait until spring?

Just like the title says....I've got an RMM bodykit and want to put it on now, but I don't know if I should be patient and just WAIT until spring to steer clear of potential gross weather.. I'm in Maryland, so there's always a chance of some big snow (like last year).

What do ya'll think? Haha, AND...now that I'm putting this on, I'm looking into getting a roof spoiler, too! I know most people who put on the roof spoiler paid around $75 for paint and install should be a breeze, but do ya'll think it'll be cheaper if I wait and get the spoiler and kit painted/installed at the same time?

Man, mod fever never ends...thanks for the input, guys/gals.

It's funny you post this. I was going to do my front bumper but decided to wait until spring and then I'll do the bumper and the vented hood at the same time. I"ve decided to sell my L-SPortline bumper and get my DVD system instead.

i would wait, most everyone takes thier wheels off 4 the winter anyway so what a body kit with no wheels going 2 look like? just wait and that way u can plan more stuff over the winter and mayb get more done at the same time at the shop than going back 2 or 3 times with new ideas....just my take..

Just build up your nest egg during the winter and start modding when the nice weather comes around. Last thing you wanna do is get a freshly installed kit, and drive it on the frost heaved, salt covered streets

Man, I'm so bad....I just dropped off the kit to get painted. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna' put it on yet! Ugh....so......itchy.......

Plus, last winter when it snowed heavily, I didn't drive my car for about 2 1/2 weeks. There was barely any sand that got on the car.

I know, I know, I'm floating my own boat right now, but I'm so itchy and the only cure is....MORE COWBELL. Sorry, I couldn't resist that one. Anybody know where that quote's from?

Please keep voting!

haha, it seems you are just like me. once I get something I want it on right away, granted you might encounter bad weather but hey, atleast you'll still look good in the rain.

No, I'm in not-that-sunny Maryland during the winter.

Yeah, it's going on Monday. Look! The votes are 6 to 7! That's close enough.
