Anyone install a stillen classic lip where it can be removed for winter?

Just curious. I'm on Tein S-Tech and illumina struts currently and want to know if its possible to install the lip for so it can be removed for winter as the lip will sit to low for winter and I want no damage to it.

I know, but I'm worried about the middle and how that should be done..The lip is very tight fitting.

yes i have taken off my front lip many times, like for winter or long road trips etc.

I ahve 2 screw on the sides and nothin is needed in the middle becasue of that tight fit you do not need more then 2 screws on each side, no need for screw in the middle.

I just unscrew the side screws and take off the front lip..btw i have the maximum tuning front lips.

trust me you won't need screws or nothing else in the middle..... just the screws on the side. For a little more safety you can add 3M tape that's it.. good luck

My classic lip is secured with 4 bolts, with 2 on each side. So far I have not had any problems since the lip fits snuggly around the middle. I've driven at a decent speed several times on the highway, and yet the lip still fits tight.
