Well the snowplow decided to plow railway here in richmond, but he did not lift his blade when he crossed steveston highway. So i came through steveston highway and plowed through a 2 feet high barrier, ripped off my lip and took some other plastic stuff underneath out too. I saw about 3 more walls of snow on steveston highway going through gilbert and 3rd. FUCK!! Any one got a front lip for 90-91 integra? Let me know want one back on for spring.

Give it a shot if you're absolutely stuck. | the only problem with that is if you're really stuck, you may end up melting the rubber mats as well (happened to a friend who got stuck in the snow for over an hour...lol, shit stinks when the tire is spinning away)

| FUCK.
I finally got stuck last night. The snow was just too high off the ground and my exhaust and part of the chassis got jammed in there good. It wouldn't budge even a mm in either direction so I couldn't rock it out.
In the end, I had to jack up the car high enough to fit planks under the front wheels (because the drive wheels just shot the planks out), which lifted the car up high enough to get unstuck. 
^ wasn't enough. I guess there just comes a point when no amount of grip can overcome a problem with clearance.

Imagine dragging a spoon through a bowl of flour... and then trying to do it through bread dough.
Enjoy the rain!

for those who are destroying their front bumpers, do you think its worth it to buy a beater bumper to put on in the front? but keep in mind you would still be cautious about damaging and try to avoid it? (but if it does get damaged, you won't have to grief about it) it might be cheaper to go that route instead of paying like $300 each time to repair your bumper/lip when something goes bad.

i was thinking of doing that as well incase i can't find a beater for next year.
the good thing is, you can run the 'beater-bumper' for snow and also track days if you decide to track your car. but i would probably do it if you have a nice lip that can't take the beating of snow plowing.
