tawheed · 11-04-2012, 02:30 PM

The UR are pretty soft and so far so good

Jayde · 11-04-2012, 05:06 PM

That's how mine is somewhat going to look too! Black steelies with Rally Armor mud flaps. Should be putting them on Wednesday.

Superhatch · 11-04-2012, 05:12 PM

Hmm. RA mudflaps for winter...not a bad idea.

DarkSunrise · 11-04-2012, 05:17 PM

Must say, it seems a bit odd seeing your BRZ decked out with winter wheels, rally armor, and covered in snow while your nice SUV sits in the background going unused.

Pretty sure it said on paid 186 of the manual "car is not to be kept in freezer"

Nice!! We have yet to see snow yet here in NW, but cooler temps are around the corner.

tawheed · 11-06-2012, 06:43 PM

For all those people who aren't driving theirs in the snow.. Consider a couple of things:

1) How long is your winter? You have a brand new car with warranty that will sit around for months not collecting any mileage while your warranty burns off

2) You're missing out on an extremely good time. I'm not exaggerating when I say I feel much safer in the snow vs the RDX and have about a million times more fun.

It's a cheap, entry level, JAPANESE sports car. Enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My wife has an RDX as well. Those things are a hoot in the snow.
