Default To ppl with rs1 lip...

Well, when spring will comes, im planning to do some shopping and the first thing i want to buy is cf rs1 lip. The only problem is that i live in Chii and winter time sux out here and i don't wan to loose my new lip first day of a winter. Currently i got tien ss and sometimes i can hear the plastic under my front bumper is scraping on the snow.I can imagine what would be like wit the lip one... How do you guys are getting through winter time. is taking off the lip for the winter time the only way to get through it?

Don't drive when there is snow, ice on the ground. Or do what the cool cat above me said. Take it off and store it in a place where it would be safe and free from my stupid beagle....

It comes with screws to mount to the bumper, but come spring im figuring out a much more secure way to mount this badboy and never drive it bad conditions, I cant afford to loose another lip it sucks having to spend all that money on a part you use to have when it could go to something else

Yeah i know how you feel... That lip is not cheap especially when we are talking about cf version...another thing i have to figured how to secure it form "soccer moms" that are trying to squeeze their van in front of my car every day ( I live across elementary school) and i know one of them scratched my rear bumper and and lip is another thing that im going to have to watch for...
