I had a friend agree to film me the day before...
We knew about the snow coming, but the snow was too much for him to get his car out without fear of getting stuck.... Just giving him a hard time if he reads this
. We can try another time.
So no outside footage.
I was ready to mount the camera outside with a tripod and film it myself, but the snow was coming down pretty hard and I didn't want to damage the camera from it getting flaked on by a lot of snow. I was testing it out and for even a short minute, the camera was wet so I decided not to try capturing outside footage by leaving it there. You can see this through the wipers being on the whole time. The snow kept coming down the whole time.
Theres footage from last year that shows outside footage for that same parking lot. At the end of this video shows outside footage of that parking lot

So far no issues. I read a lot of reviews that it would rub or what not, but I had to try it out for myself and thats why I made the fitment video. I have not rolled my fenders and I havn't rubbed yet...and I drive my car pretty aggressively...I've taken the 18's on the track at Mid Ohio after the drop too and it hasn't rubbed.
This is my first winter with the drop, I do worry about the lip hitting an iceberg or something like that, maybe that's why the S is eatting a lot of snow this time around..

My drop is moderate, so I'm not experiencing any issues. I have 1 finger gap up front, and about 2 finger gap in the rear.
