1) yes get some winter tires and rim and drive it in the winter. but have a beater for the really bad snow days. I know i lived in Nova scatia and now live in Edmonton and drive my G37S all winter long. just wash it at least once a week to deal with the salt on the roads

2)Depends on the mod but most times you can put the car back to stock sell it then sell the parts separatly.

3) Piller cover is just for looks.

isnt that ironic, i lived in nova scotia and now live in edmonton as well. I'm only driving my Z for the first part of the winter. As of Jan 1st it will be in storage since im doing security for the olympics with the army.

To the OP about modding a car. Like this guy said, it depends on the mods. When you sell your car and its modded you wont get even 1/4 what you paid for the aftermarket parts. If you mod the car keep the stock parts and when you are ready to sell...put it back to stock. Thats what i did with my cobalt, kept stock parts and when i was ready to sell, put stock parts back on and then sold the aftermarket parts to my friends and made more money.

NO! The problem with driving in the snow is that your Z has a very low front end and is basically a snow plow with no traction! Could you drive in the winter on days where there is no snow? Sure. But just realize if you get caught out in a snow storm, you are stranded.

I'm not even planning on taking my 370Z out in the winter. My 350Z would be worthless on even 1 inch of snow. Instead of buying snow tires and playing that game, your best bet is to just buy a cheap, used 2nd vehicle which is snow friendly.
