I would like to know a few things before I pull the trigger on any purchase though. Anyone from the midwest or a varying climate city, could you tell me how feasible it would be to make a C5 a dd? Or should I expect that in cold weather/light snow that I will NEED something else?

Also, is there anything in particular that I should look out for when shopping around? Any particular parts succeptible to failure, etc...
I have in my possession the C5 buyers guide from Grassroots Motorsports, and have a bit of knowledge, just looking to expand and hopefully purchase.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
