    i dont know the specifics but wont it rust or start to anyway. depending on interior storage room temp. moisture levels and so on? i think id be more worried about things seizing and not working as well in the spring from storing a car, plus cars are made to be driven but if you can put it away and save the cash if you have say a work car. then why not


    why dont you drive the car for the winter?

    salt is what causes the car to rust, aka caused from winter, thats why so many people store there car, thats why you see rust free cars posted for sale and main thing the post is "never driven in winter"

    Although I wouldv'e loved to store her, that isn't the case anymore and I'm driving year round now.

    I had everything set up to have her stored. But then my plans changed when I contacted my insurance about modding etc...to make a long story short if I lowered or put rims on etc and got into an accident, I wouldn't receive a dime for my car (or so they say). Anyways, that made me think about what I do to my car now and changed my priorities a little. So, I sold my winter beater and pocketed the $3,000 I got for it and am now driving my 3 all year. I still did slight mods. I'd like to do more, just don't want the risk of getting $0 if something happened....

    Okay, I can kinda under stand lowering the car, but voiding insurance because of rims?? WTF, Who are you with? Insurance is also what is holding me back from doing any mods, I can't afford to be dropped, every other insurance company is almost $150 more a month D:

    As long as the rims are the same size as my stock wheels, I'm fine.

    I'm with TD Melonche Monnex, and if I wanted to lower etc, they could insure me as a modded car...but my insurance almost doubled. BS.

    I took the plate off, it will be used in the future. As for now, I put my old one back on.

    Looks awesome Tyler! I gotta get one of these threads going. Maybe next week with the new spring set up.

    How much did you pay for the roof wrap? I am looking for the exact same look?
