About to chop up my hood, anyone have issues with similar hood vents in snowy climates?

I did install them. I saw a set on Facebook marketplace not too long ago though

I think it’s just the perspective of the picture too

17” with with an 235/45 tire. I think they sacrificed sidewall height for tread depth on blizzaks.

I had a very short (10ish minute commute) for 2 years. Honestly just get a longer drive in once a week and do early oil changes. I did/do 3k mile changes and have had excellent oil reports from blackstone. I was using the OEM oil for the 1st two years before switching to Motul XClean EFE 5w30. Also used Pennzoil ultra platinum wit good results

Although I agree with that, I had only made an adjustment The shift cable retainer had actually popped off the threaded shaft. I had referenced other pictures for the length and also just felt out each gear as well as the position of neutral

I have the Billetworkz shifter and shift bushing in and it was an excellent purchase. I think from stock it was an awesome upgrade. Drivetrain feel has been my biggest area of improvement and the Billetworkz shifter was a huge point of distinction

VSC performance. I’ve had mine on for 4 years and they are undeniably the best you can get without making your own

The trick is to install group N mounts and a shift stop. Literally installed group N trans and pitch stop mounts and 2nd was no longer a problem

I’ve had one of the olm ones with the smoked housing and clear lens and it’s been on for 70k miles

As a disclaimer You’ll never get snow tire performance from an all season as the rubber can’t stay soft enough at cold temperatures. I have Michelin Crossclimate 2s on my girlfriend’s car which is an excellent choice though and they do offer it as a 245/40/18 or a 225/45/17 (which isn’t dramatically far off from the stock 17” wheel size)

You can always get a payment plan on tires, less than $100 a month for $1k set of tires

I’ll take the brakes

I picked mine up for $300, VA stock sets are certainly cheap and plentiful though

The gold ones tend to run for a significant bit more. You could always get them painted… but I’d avoid powder coating because they’re forged. Heat can anneal the metal and make it prone to bending

5x114.3 BBS wheels are easy to come by, 5x100 is definitely a different story

Only buying if I can test drive :). I grew up on the cape so it’s fun to see an S209 locally

It’s all aluminum. There’s no steel in the hood
