    Now I know that alot of you guys on the forum do not have this issue because you have either changed the front bumper or do not drive or let your vehicle sit outside in the snow.Check out all the ice that has formed across the whole front.I sweep the snow off a couple times a day,but it has not had a chance to melt.:cry:

    That's not a problem, they've been that way for 36 years now. It's just ice.

    Buy a good outdoor car cover! After you put the cover on use some rope and tie it from bumper to bumper and tie another from side to side under the center of the car. This will stop the wind from blowing the cover off the car. When it snows just broom it off carefully. If there is a bad storm with high winds you can always make additional ropes. Winter is hard on a car with any kind of bumpers.
