Resurrect an old thread? Sure

I’ve put the car to good use by now and gotten a good idea of what holds up to these stupid winters. Looking for opinions on some new ideas:

First, a lift kit. I’m only really driving when it’s too cold to bike, so why not lift the car a bit for snow? Any experiences with that? Will it make for lots of drag? Is it hard to do? Being able to actually get under there would be nice too.

Second, reinforcing my bumpers with coroplast. This is my first standard and I’ve had many days where I questioned how I passed my drivers test. Both my front and rear bumpers are cracked pretty terribly. In the future I’ll repair them with fibreglass, but for now I’m thinking coro and rivets. It’s -40 C here, and the plastic cracks like nothing. Since I’m going to be remaking parts of both bumpers regardless, what if I reinforced them from the inside with coroplast? I think it could help a ton with lessening repairs needed but it’ll probably help just as much with committing manslaughter. Lemme know.
