And Yes I am going to take off the reflective tint!

I live in Tampa, all we have is road construction. I know all the snow in Michigan leave pits in the road from salt but it cant be much worse than these roads. Trust me, it aint that bad, the car is pretty rigid. Don't slam it like mine, just lower about an 1'' or so. You'll love it.
