Pushing snow with 300 spoiler?

I just got my Heritage 300C and noticed how low the front end is to the road. I know you have to be extra cautious not to pull forward on a high parking chalk. What about going down a unplowed snow road??? Any experiences????????? Are there any curb feelers or devices I could buy to warn me?

I think a few members have discussed this issue before knowing how low the front fascia or chin spoiler can be. Some just refuse to drive in the winter because of the concern. A front mounted camera would certainly show you the lower road condition but would you still want to proceed forward in close situations and risk damage to your front fascia?

Good luck on this one. I am thankful I live below the mountain snowline.

Like bruno always suggests, you can always put a front camera in just like DanRealtor did. That way you'll be able to see how your snowplowing skills are!!!

Merry Christmas and WELCOME from our West Virginia LXs in the Mid-Ohio River Valley! You're going to love the Heritage Edition! When you get a chance, and if you haven't already, please consider posting the appropriate info about your car in my thread Make Our Own Build Sequence for Heritage Editions. We haven't had a new 2006 addition for a while... if you bought used, then maybe it's already on the list and need the username updated.

Don't be too concerned about "plowing" with the car... the SRT8s are even lower. I've considering a snow-plow lower grille insert for the MSRT8! Not really concerned about damage, or resistance, just don't want to stuff the lower fascia with packed snow.
