Hm... that's all depends on lip/splitter. Some lip will allow it or you can just install it under the lip. If you have legit splitter/diffuser, you don't think this. That should work as guard and downforce.

I have the Aozora/Series.Blue that comes with the STI front lip. I think you're right, in that the lip will take the damage, and those guards won't do much lol

No salt, just nicely ploughed and packed snow.
The traction is fairly low, but stable and predictable.

Oh, how I wish they'd stop salting everywhere around where I live

Seriously. Quit spending money on salt and spend it on winter tires. Problem solved.

Last winter I used black electrical tape over the bottom half of my bumper. Worked like a charm so I'm gonna do it again this year.

I spent last winter ice racing, and hooning around in every snowfall in Chicago, including slamming into all manner of giant chunks of half-frozen snow on the roads, and my STi lip remained intact. It's more robust than you'd think, though I'm sure if I hit it just right it'll snap in half.
