Heck no. I like it way better with the SC/T hood. And it's lighter and runs cooler. Only reason for the stock hood on there is to help it warm up faster in winter and keep the road slush etc out of my engine bay.

Yeah, the clean up and what not helped a bit, but close up you can see they are still all scratched up and discolored. One of them is a tiny bit bent as well (probably some kind of pot hole damage or something). Still balanced out decently ok when I mounted the snow tires.

Honestly, they are 10+ years old and getting pretty beat up. I'm ready for something else. What I'd really like to do is leave the snow tires on them and get new summer wheels/tires next spring. I'll have to see how much money I can save by then though. I'm figuring about $2k for some "not cheap crappy" wheels and performance tires.

I have been driving mine in winter for the past few years I would recommend moving your filter inside the engine cause with the right amount of slush and cold may choke it up... I had issues at first and now convert it to a shorty type CAI before winter and back in the summer.

I hate that I always f**k up my front mesh in my front grill cause of the snow/ice... Dam road salt will rust everything it takes me days in the summer to clean all the effect of it...

That's why I bought the filter cover. It sheds water so I'm not worried about slush sticking to it. It's the same thing as the "snowcharger" covers K&N makes for it's snowmobile filters.

I've been driving with the CAI there for years with no problems, and it's not possible to relocate it to the engine bay. No room with the supercharger.

Yeah its one of those things, when you never had the SC/T hood on it looks aggressive then after having it on for a while then you take it off to put the stock one of it looks nice a smooth but then after a while you'll miss the SC/T hood. It's a cycle

Snow storm randomly hit. My car thriving in its natural habitat

Also showing the amber LED fogs output in heavy snow. It's pouring snow, dunno if that actually appears in the photos. I'll bet you my life they're yellow, camera always makes it look green, I have no idea why.

Kumhos (Road venturer) that I put on the truck, are BEASTLY!!! we had the sleet (or nowdays, ice pellets) and rain, then to snow, so it's slush under snow, crappy out... the truck acts like it's on dry pavement, absolutely impressed with these things! Don't need no stinking computer starting and stopping for me *ahem sleepy you're a puss ahem*

dude at the tire place said he had them on his truck and was amazed how well he got around, i may buy that dude a Christmas present
